Kolya Miller’s Summary
People focused, I am a confident, well-organised person who can analyse problems, influence outcomes and work effectively in a high-pressure environment. I have excellent presentation, writing, analytical and all round communication skills. My background includes delivering a broad range of work and a history working for strategic and management consulting firms and delivering solutions to both the private and public sector. Additionally, I have experience in providing complex training solutions and strategic advice addressing major business issues. I have delivered and assisted in large-scale training across organizations (St. George, McKinsey), and assisted in the development of strategies for Enterprise Content Management (CBA) and Knowledge Management (McKinsey, CBA) systems.
I have also delivered “best practice” strategic risk management and technology solutions across all business areas (biopharmaceutical, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services etc.) and global locations (Sydney, Europe, Asia, Americas). I have worked closely with senior managers (from CEO’s to line managers) to drive complex solutions through ensuring organizational commitment and timely responses.
