Martin is a business analyst and project manager. Equally comfortable with technical and business issues, he combines strong analytical and technical skills with a pragmatic approach to delivering business objectives.

Within the financial services sector, his analysis experience is diverse : investment and retail banking; Treasury and money market trading; Fund administration; deal capture; accounting; settlement; reconciliation; data warehousing; regulatory reporting, internet banking; client take-on and compliance.
BackgroundMartin has 20 years experience of managing complex change and helping people "see the wood through the trees". He describes himself first and foremost as a computer "user" - IT systems being tools needed to get a job done rather than being ends in themselves.
