I have had the privilege of working with Graham for a bit more than a year. Among the many things that I will miss are Graham's impressive knowledge of project management, his persuasion skills, his pedagogical approach when introducing new topics, his ability to make you see things differently, his coaching competencies, and not least his warmth of character and sense of humour. Graham was heading our project-stewardship effort halfway across the globe. Our face-to-face meetings were few but very productive... I will definitely keep those long e-mails going back and forth discussing the intricacies of portfolio management in a complex environment. Thank you Graham for your valuable contributions - hope to keep in touch!- Luc Vandamme, Sr Dir Capital Allocation at Barrick Gold Corporation

Graham was Rail Programme Manager for the Operations Centre Project responsible for integrating and consolidating the design and implementation of the existing Rio Tinto rail control system facility into the new Operations Centre. Graham's PM experience and ability to create unique solutions was key to meeting stakeholder expectations and producing an integrated solution for the project. - Adam Garczynski, Project Director at Mineral Resources Limited

I worked with Graham at Barrick in the Technical Services group, where he was the Regional Manager for Capital & Projects. In this role Graham provided excellent support to the Regional Leadership Team to assist them in creating, implementing and reviewing regional strategies via Program, Portfolio and Project Management. Graham was instrumental in providing project oversight and mentoring personnel in the project/program management space. I always found Graham to be the consumate professional who consistently added value and was a real pleasure to do business with. - Gavin Strack, Manager - Process Control at Gold Fields

During Graham's time at Barrick he has assisted me greatly by coaching and mentoring me in various aspects of Project Management. I was also lucky enough to assist Graham with presenting Barrick's "Project Manager in Action" training course to site personnel on several occasions and picked up valuable insight from his knowledge of PM and his passion to teach others how to be a great Project Manager. - Warwick Jones, Principal Capital Project Engineer at Barrick

I have personally worked with Graham on several global efforts regarding project management standards and procedures. Working with an international team is often difficult; especially when trying to establish universally useable project management tools, however Graham was dedicated to this effort and was instrumental in its success. Throughout this collaborative process I found Graham to be very knowledgeable in the field of project management and he was critical in offering insight that helped shaped these tools. He was not afraid to work late hours and often helped me above and beyond what would be expected from two colleagues in different regions. He has served as mentor to me on several occasions and cannot recommend him enough. His skill set makes him an ideal management fit and can serve as the corner stone for any serious project management office - Antonios Maragakis, Project Management and Controls Lead at Barrick Gold

Graham is a distinct leader in Portfolio Management; his ability to articulate meaningful strategy and action within local, regional and global contexts means you get what you’d hope for in Graham’s leadership - and a confidence beyond what you’d expect in the increasingly complex project environment. I’d recommend Graham to any business and would gratefully work with Graham again in the future. - Matt Russell, Business Improvement & Effectiveness Consultant at Barrick Gold
