years in Ferranti International and GEC. This 15 years saw
a rapid progression from hands-on systems development through
the management of multi-disciplinary systems development teams
to her eventual role as Bids Manager, Tactical Trainers, GEC.

the roll-out of modern international management techniques.
As a

sustainable business
and organisational development |

the practical application of R&D. |
Working in van Helsing
provides Janet with the flexibility to participate in a portfolio
of activities in the private, public and academic sectors in order
that complementary motivations can be satisfied.
Through van Helsing Janet
works with organisations to enable them to deliver distinctiveness
efficiently and effectively in an ever-increasingly competitive
global market. This she achieves by a blend of hard and soft skills
to analyse problems and synthesise solutions in context and time
sensitive scenarios. Janet particularly enjoys working with multidisciplinary
groups to elicit the winning solution.
Van Helsing's activities
are underpinned by extensive R&D in a number of important technical,
management and business development disciplines. The ensuing knowledge
gained from this research is then embedded into van Helsing's
product and service offerings for the benefit of its customers.
