Key Achievements:

As Project Manager (Fast track) at Seven Consulting, Zach completed the fast-track program which is designed to enhance the core Project Management skills amongst the people who are experienced in their individual professional fields. During the Fast Track program, he has gained theoretical and practical knowledge on different aspects of project management by going through different sessions and exercises with domain experts. This program utilised his previous skills and knowledge whilst developing his skills and confidence level in using PM tools (like MS Project, JIRA etc), techniques and soft skills. Zach also had the opportunity to work shadow senior consultants in actual project environments where he has been exposed to risk, issues, and constraints on a project and better ways to manage them.


As Project Manager at Lovelight, Zach was responsible for managing the migration of clients from MS Office onto a SaaS system. Zach worked closely with the sponsor to ensure the project was delivered in scope and on budget, working in an Agile environment. He built strong relationships with a team of developers and delivered fortnightly production releases with regular product enhancements. Zach developed the change management processes and worked closely with end users ensuring a successful onboard, whilst also providing regular status reports to internal stakeholders. Within 6 months of rollout the project increased client usage by 60% and had overwhelmingly positive feedback from end users.


As Project Manager at Lovelight, Zach managed the rollout of multiple business initiatives which increased staff efficiency and business security. Zach gathered and documented current business processes, presented information to key stakeholders in a concise and organised manner and successfully migrated staff onto new systems. He conducted frequent training sessions and gathered feedback on defects and change requests, while working with outsourced vendors to ensure migrations were completed in a timely manner.


As Project Manager at Clearview, Zach successfully migrated staff from an obsolete CRM system to a SaaS based application. Zach was responsible for quickly possessing an in-depth knowledge of current business processes, analysing, and recommending new systems to upper management, and ensuring the successful migration of staff onto the new application. He helped to improve staff efficiency and customer service whilst fostering a positive team culture.
