Mac is an exemplary individual and has been a pleasure to work with. He has demonstrated his vast experience in a very professional manner and has gotten many clients onside through sometimes difficult situations. Mac has a great ability to rally teams together to deliver projects of all scales and at the same time maintain the respect of his team at all levels. I would definitely recommend Mac to any world class organisation.

Mac is an exceptional individual - he displays superb business acumen, communicates well to all levels (junior to C) - both internal and to clients, has tenacity & determination, takes challenges head on, and gets the job done. He is a hard task master, sure of what he wants done but at the same time a good coach & mentor. In the short space of time (1-2 years) that I have come to know him, he has earned my respect and I have no hesitation in recommending him for a senior or executive management role.

Mac and I have been colleagues for several years in Temenos and Misys and can honestly say he is one of the most diligent and professional individuals I have worked with throughout my career. His relationships with customers and non-nonsense approach to leading high-level programmes are exemplary. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for a senior position in any world-class organisation.
