When organisations bring me in

  • Multi-stream cloud, automation or infrastructure programmes that need senior ownership under live-service constraints
  • Data centre estate cost-out and continuity work with board-visible results
  • Continuity-critical moves and migrations (including healthcare IT) where zero disturbance matters
  • Installing a Cloud/PMO delivery rhythm so programmes, projects and teams stay aligned
  • Troubled or overloaded delivery that needs calm recovery, governance and measurable outcomes

Engagement modes

One senior IT delivery & transformation profile — engaged as IT Manager, Program Manager, Project Manager or Change & Transformation lead depending on what the organisation needs.

IT Manager

For organisations that need an experienced manager who can lead IT teams, suppliers, operations and stakeholders with calm, credible direction.

  • Typical scope: ownership of infrastructure, cloud or data-centre teams and suppliers under live pressure
  • First 30 days: decision rights, risk register, critical path and calm sponsor reporting
  • Outcomes: stabilised delivery, clearer escalation, PMO rhythm that lasts after handover
  • Environments: multi-vendor, construction/migration, live-service continuity
Interim · ZZP · Detachering — discuss fit Learn more →

Program Manager

For organisations that need senior ownership of complex, multi-stream programmes spanning projects, vendors, countries and executive stakeholders.

  • Typical scope: multi-stream cloud, automation or DC cost programmes with board-visible outcomes
  • First 30 days: business case clarity, vendor/country map, SteerCo cadence and decision rights
  • Outcomes: measurable cost/ROI, predictable delivery, short escalation paths
  • Environments: multi-country, multi-party, live-service constraints
Interim · ZZP · Detachering — discuss fit Learn more →

IT Change & Transformation

For organisations where technology delivery only succeeds when people, processes and the organisation move with it — change embedded in programme and project leadership, not classic standalone OCM.

  • Typical scope: adoption-critical change across people, process and technology on live platforms
  • First 30 days: stakeholder map, continuity/readiness gates, artefacts teams will actually use
  • Outcomes: change that sticks, coached PMs, continuity protected
  • Environments: healthcare/regulated, multi-stream automation, managed cloud
Interim · ZZP · Detachering — discuss fit Learn more →

Project Manager

For critical IT projects under Program/Delivery leadership — structure, planning, governance and hands-on result ownership where enterprise infrastructure or continuity is at stake.

  • Typical scope: enterprise infrastructure/cloud projects, recovery or continuity-critical moves
  • First 30 days: scope/risk/budget baseline, technical authority with sponsors, mitigation plan
  • Outcomes: delivered lifecycle, recovered trajectory, zero-disturbance where required
  • Environments: data centre builds, healthcare IT, troubled-project recovery
Interim · ZZP · Detachering — discuss fit Learn more →

Client evaluators Client evaluation (signed, Apr 2016) · St Antonius Ziekenhuis

Under very difficult circumstances, Ger managed to meet deadlines. Especially the timely delivery of São Paulo, with an extremely short lead time, contributed significantly to a positive turnaround in Philips' assessment of BT as a supplier and partner. Overall 9/10.
