Professional Profile
Scott Walsh has over eleven years experience in the IT Industry working across the full IT spectrum, recently this has been across the sales lifecycle and has previously included an emphasis in service and network management. Initial involvement in IT was in application training, systems administration, and a variety of service support roles around PC’s, servers and networks.

Outcome focused, Scott utilises his knowledge of technology and builds an understanding of the required customer outcomes to give what is needed to meet and exceed these outcomes.
