E-Day

E-Day isn’t making reference to the fact that I have started taking class A drugs, it is more making reference to the fact that yesterday was D-Day, so today must be E-Day. Yesterday was D-Day because the formal Wipro announcement was made that I have been appointed Global Client Partner for the Private Banking division of one of our largest clients. It’s a great role change for me – finally I accepted that I should really embrace the fact that I have been working in Financial Services for over 10 years and that managing teams and helping clients is what really interests me, (definitely more than just data and technology). I’m looking forward to the challenge(s), especially that of trying to create a real sense of team across the 200 people or so who work on the account in Zurich, India and Singapore....The role change will mean lots of regular travel to Zurich, but the biggest benefit of that is that it will be a bit more predictable and stable when compared to my previous role which could often have me in four different European cities in a week. I have also been very lucky because I’ve moved from one boss who I really like (and who hired me), to another. I’m looking forward to the journey ahead...hopefully I’ll be saying the same thing in 3 months time!
