Brian Riordan Email & Phone Number | Sales Operations & Transformation leader in hi-tech product technology companies, financial services and the public sector. Track record in building high performance organisations spanning multiple countries and cultural settings. I like to work with people, using my strong data analytics background and communication skills to bring clarity, to synthesize complexity, to land strategic initiatives and to drive excellence in day-to-day operations. I have a flair for communications and people development, with a proven capability as a team builder and leader, particularly with virtual, distributed teams. I combine a confident relaxed managerial style with strategic thinking, excellent numerical skills and an aptitude for problem-solving and strategic thinking. I started my career with Accenture, where, after starting as a developer, I graduated to design roles, then developer lead roles. Subsequently, I led and delivered IT-enabled business transformation programmes for clients across several sectors, primarily financial services and the public sector. I left with a group of colleagues from Accenture to launch a financial services startup which developed algorithmic trading solutions using buy-side investment algorithms. As one does in a startup, I did a bit of everything - sales & marketing, algorithm development (leveraging my mathematics background), risk & compliance, financial control and more. Working to launch a financial services business during the biggest financial crisis in history was certainly a great opportunity for learning….what didn't kill me made me stronger! My next move was to Microsoft to work in strategy and planning for the Sales & Marketing organisation in Western Europe (WE), the company's largest geographic business area outside the US. In this role, I worked as the Chief of Staff to the COO of Microsoft WE, driving the area's marketing strategy, growth strategy, scorecard and business operations. Since 2017, I have worked with Travelport, where I am now responsible for the transformation of the Product organisation into the team with the skills required at the core of the modern product technology company we are becoming.
