Acumen Data

A software development company delivering accounts payable solutions

A software development company that visualised and created CAAPS for the management and automation of accounts payable processes for organisations globally. This ongoing engagement includes strategic advisory and project execution.

I originally started as the Product Manager and then was promoted to Chief Operating Officer where I was responsible for a number of key strategic projects including:

  • Building an offshored team of developers, testers and support engineers
  • Management of major technical projects including rearchitecture of core software components and workflows
  • Development of business compliance and governance documentation
  • Research & Development application writeup

Along with operational functions I also developed a series of workshops for Acumen Data including:

  • Research & Development application writeup
  • Scheduling, estimating and executing work effectively
  • Leadership - how to lead and follow to succeed
  • Productivity Hacking

Three Acumen Data values posters: own it, communicate it, respect it

I stay connected with Acumen Data regularly and enjoy hearing about their successes, and that most of the team I assembled are still in the business and doing well.
