But it’s not what you have it’s how you use it – technological potential starts from there…
Management experience of a team; strategic, collaborative, motivational and a people person. Insightful leadership and communicative. Removing obstacles, seeing what can be enhanced and giving space to the change, giving people creative freedom because that surprises people.
The biggest investment you can give is to your team: people. They are the greatest instigators of change. Communication and dialogue – simple things often missed. Have a sense of humour, nothing is worth not smiling about 🙂
Scrum, agile, sifted and communicated clearly. Organised down to the finest details with time to spare. Project issues are opportunities to overcome. PSPO / CSM certification pending
Audio, Video & Web and importantly, experience and know-how of how it all works together. The world we live in combines these three important mediums to communicate. Technical and directive expertise.

An ability to pickup new software and systems very quickly
As well as multimedia, my background is in the arts & production of all kinds. Original ideas and innovation combined with the technology = the ability to push the edge and make those risks into informed decisions
Even in leadership, working with a collaborative and supportive environment increases productivity and strengthens the team. You can’t buy or train this culture. You are this culture.
‘How do we make this fly?’
Not getting lost in the details and having the goal in mind throughout any project to make things happen.
Despite all the technology, creating a good culture through personal relationships is the base to start from. We’re on the same side so it’s a win-win when working towards the same goal. Collaborate and make things great
Working with Louis is always a fun experience! He is an organised creative which is a unqiue match but it works brilliantly!
I can always rely on Louis for his personable calm assurance that is needed in any project
Whenever we came to a block Louis raised the spirits of the team and made them feel at ease so they could deliver. Despite the technology, he’ll take the time to walk over and talk to people face to face which is lacking in this modern world. Thank you!
A creative company, with a conscious effort to make changes. Because, of course, these types of people are the ones who deliver. You are looking for someone who dances on the edge; a ‘Square peg in a round hole’. You want someone who knows the digital world, how it fits together technically/creativity but with the important ability to connect with others. Technology is just a bridge for connection, and *connection is a basic human need. You are looking for someone who can see the big picture and help you paint it. Creativity is the core and a creative with technical mindsets are strange and unique people. You’re looking for someone who wants to make a big change, a big impact, to do something great in the world. Also someone with a sense of humour when the chips are down, no matter what. You think the good guys shouldn’t come last and Charlie Brown should really kick that ball. Let’s get stuff done.

London; I love the diversity of this amazing city. I have worked in education, commercial business and project environments. I like making an effort to walk down long corridors and stairwells when a quick one-line email would have been ok because of connection. Also, I’m online, which is a justifiable modern place too.
