Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?

Although I've promised Paul Stainsby (AKA "The Delinquent" to his close friends and family) of the AIMS Newsletter a more in depth interview, here's a quick starter biography....

Despite not being a believer in the ethnic nation, I am actually the holder of both Irish and British nationality. I originally hail from the North East and have been in Accenture for 9 years. I have spent time as a member of the London, Paris, Manchester and Newcastle offices. As you can see, I've basically done a round trip. The only slight issue is that on my way I picked up a French wife and child, meaning that I now spend my time between my native Newcastle, the south of France and wherever my project work is....

My greatest achievement in life was avoiding being staffed on the NIRS project as a new analyst,(as a Newcastle lad graduating in Politics, Philiosophy & Economics from Oxford, it was a bit of an obvious choice for the firm to try and send the Geordie back to where he came from). I joined the Resources CSG and have been working with "data" ever since. I left the CSG as a C2 to move into the GTC Business Intelligence group in France. Despite the rumours, my decision had nothing to do with the fact that the Resources CSG was being run by a real rogues gallery including Royce Bell, Nick Millman and Will Gatehouse.

I've been back in AIMS UK since 2007 but I continued to work in continental Europe, notably in Belgium with the the well known sharp dresser and loveable Davide Corda. I'm currently finishing off a couple of RFP bids, understanding what I need to do in this new role, and waiting for some big projects to come through so I can get myself off the bench.

That's probably a rather large bite sized chunk so I'll leave it there. Have a good weekend all; the start of the French amateur show jumping season is on Sunday so I'll go and have a crack at that. Until next time.
