Testimonials
I have been lucky to have worked with Bruce whilst I was based in South Africa. His CV guides the reader to an individual with robust and proven IT leadership skills - but the reality is that he is much broader in what he brings to the table (facilities management was just one of them). He is equally comfortable in a commercial environment as he is within Supply Chain - critical in validating transformation expectations. I enjoyed that Bruce would often look and probe challenges/opportunities through a different lens and help shape better decision-making and execution design. Very good at working with people at all levels and a great communicator - which for me was essential where hearts and minds were not always in step with tough decisions.
Bruce is an excellent IT executive who possesses the rare ability to seamlessly blend strategic vision and insight with a comprehensive operational management and control skillset. He builds strong teams who are well equipped to operate effectively in today’s multifunctional multidisciplinary environment. Bruce is also a good communicator who ensures that all links in the management chain are attuned to the goals that have been set and the progress being made towards achieving objectives

Any organization would be fortunate to have Bruce’s insight and seasoned perspective. He is a consummate professional and a distinguished leader in the field.

Even under high-pressure situations, he never panicked; instead, he followed a methodical process of assessment, planning, and execution. He is a true gentleman and a consummate professional who makes every project smoother for those around him.
