ABOUT USWhat Clients say
COLIN SAUNDERS, SAP Security and Account Manager, Nestlé Waters North America
Deasún worked on the Nestle Purina cluster upgrade project for the seven data-centers around Europe. His project management and system knowledge were excellent in delivering the project on time and within budget. His man management and project tracking were vital in the hardware and software upgrades being completed by several different teams within the timescales for subsequent projects. I would not hesitate in recommending Deasún to a future employer.
PETER TAYLOR, The Lazy Project Manager
Deasún was instrumental in supporting a significant change process within the European project management community. His patience and strength of purpose was highly valued.
THOMAS LOUIS, Member of Group Executive Management Team IT, Swiss Re
I know Deasún from working together at Swiss Re. He was contracted as a seasoned manager and expert in project management, member of an interdisciplinary team of globally dispersed, regionally embedded professionals.
Deasún's personal contribution was instrumental to Swiss Re's success in implementing a consistent project management framework across Divisions and major locations worldwide. His international work experience, cultural awareness, language skills, and great sense of humor were key to our achievment of REAL change through REAL teams despite our heavy reliance on VIRTUAL meetings in VIRTUAL team rooms. Above all, Deasún has a unique personality, impossible to capture and reflect in an online identity. You have to get to know the man behind the name !
MARIANNE L. LUCHSINGER, Development & Communication Manager, Swiss Re
Deasún and I had the pleasure to work together on several projects, the most important one a complete overhaul of the project management training programme at Swiss Re. I found Deasún to be an experienced project manager with strong personal drive and initiative. He was able to both keep the big picture in mind, as well as be exacting in the details. Much of the resulting quality was down to Deasún's efforts.

BRIAN TARNOWSKI, Business Support, Paper Chemicals
A team of Project Engineers in Paper Manufacture (locally based, generally one per country), who provided engineering solutions for use of the Ciba Specialty Chemicals' products, needed a standardised project management methodology to ensure high quality, cost effective results.
Deasún developed & delivered a training schedule for the engineers, which resulted in a much greater consistency of work across the regions and an improved use of modular equipment as opposed to tailor made solutions. Costs, productivity and teamwork all improved with engineers offering help to each other. Deasún’s personality was such that the engineers saw the advantages of what was on offer & embraced it, rather than having to be pushed.
