Executive Summary & Covering Letter

With effective people skills and a rather contagious excitement about the opportunities IT provides to empower the management and teams in an organisation, I am adept at selling ideas to upper management, staff and clients alike. I have developed IT strategy, and shared technology visions to lead the IT focus of numerous small and medium sized organisations. I have managed (ie coached, mentored and brokered) my people and their skills, my outsourced resources, my budgetary resources and my own hands-on skills to implement various software and information systems projects, often while maintaining ongoing support services to tightly monitored key performance indicators. I have achieved agreed objectives within organisations of demanding staff and management my customers. I am obsessive about delivering high standards of service and satisfaction, to my team's customers and my own, and with a smile. All of this is the testimony of my references although I won't deny any of it... =o) Ive been busy creating mechanical engineering applications in the 1980s, managing diverse computer systems through hands on and then through teams of specialist professionals through the 1990s and 2000s, and most recently gaining hands on experience in the management of software development teams. My goal is to establish a technology independent production line system to efficiently channel software ideas through market research, validation, elimination or evolution, design, development and deployment into valuable (and subsequently profitable) software products and services. Please let me know if I may be of service to you. Yours faithfully,

Matthew Groves
