Meet Andrew Fiddes

Andrew’s experience is vast and he understands most SME/ large enterprise project perspectives. Over 40 corporations and 15 global projects, as a project manager for customers, consultants and suppliers allows him to find innovative ways to tackle SAP/ SuccessFactors challenges in such a way that people hardly notice and project progress accelerates.​

Andrew cares about all the people he works with and builds trust and strong relationships with all stakeholders, seeking their advice and feedback in appropriate ways. He works diligently to find what is important for the organisation and gets it delivered in a co-operative way. Executing projects “with” people, rather than “to” people.
