Learn how I can help you transform your business with my enterprise software, asset management, and industry 4.0 technology expertise.

Introduction

Hello, I'm Leroy Clarke, a senior digital consultant with over 10 years of experience in enterprise sales, digital excellence, and agile delivery. I have worked with some of the leading companies in the enterprise software industry, such as Microsoft, IBM, and Fortinet, and helped them achieve their business goals with innovative and effective solutions. I have also developed a deep understanding of the asset-intensive industry and how to optimize asset information management and maintenance programs. In this blog post, I will share with you some of the highlights of my career, the skills and knowledge that I have acquired, and the compelling reasons why you should work with me on your next digital transformation project.

My Experience

I started my career in enterprise sales, selling software solutions to large and complex organizations. I learned how to identify my clients' needs and pain points and how to tailor the best solutions for them. I also learned how to negotiate, communicate, and build long-term relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders. I was responsible for generating revenue, increasing customer satisfaction, and growing my company's market share.

After several years of successful sales performance, I pursued my passion for digital excellence and agile delivery. I joined Beca Limited as a Senior Digital Consultant, where I have been working for the last three years. In this role, I have been involved in various aspects of digital transformation or digital delivery, such as strategy development, workshop facilitation, digital system design, project management, and programme management. I have worked with clients from different industries, such as manufacturing, energy, mining, and transportation, and helped them improve their operational efficiency, user experience, and competitive advantage with digital solutions.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is that I get to apply my extensive knowledge of the asset-intensive industry and how to leverage industry 4.0 technology to optimize asset management. I have worked with clients with large and complex asset portfolios, such as power plants, factories, mines, and railways, and helped them implement asset information management and maintenance programs that reduce costs, risks, and downtime and increase performance, reliability, and safety. I have also helped them adopt industry 4.0 technology, such as IoT, cloud, and AI, to enable real-time data collection, analysis, and decision-making and to create smart and connected assets that can self-monitor, self-diagnose, and eventually self-heal.
