Bruce Nieuwenhuys

I am Bruce Nieuwenhuys, an experienced Information Technology Consultant and Data Analyst with over two decades in the field. My specialty lies in business process optimization and IT project management, where I excel at turning complex data into actionable business insights.

Throughout my career, I've managed and executed numerous IT projects across diverse industries. At Doctech UK, I was a Docuware System Consultant/Process Analyst, where I analyzed workflows, designed process improvements, and increased automation to enhance operational efficiency. My role involved not just technical implementation but also strategic communication with stakeholders, presenting my findings to influence organizational change.

Before that, I worked as a Project Manager at Ayoh South Africa, managing projects from start to finish. I was responsible for project initiation, planning, and ensuring client satisfaction through clear communication and problem-solving. My efforts in streamlining processes and creating SOPs for both technical and sales teams highlight my dedication to continuous improvement and efficiency.

My technical skills are extensive, including SQL Server, Python, Power BI, and various Microsoft Office tools, along with networking, VMWare, and JavaScript. I applied these skills effectively at DC Plastics Recycling, where I managed the implementation of an ERP system, demonstrating my strategic approach to IT solutions that drive business value.

At Southey Group, I took on the role of Procurement Specialist, where I negotiated significant cost savings through strategic agreements with suppliers. Leading a team of procurement managers and optimizing purchasing processes across different divisions showcased my ability to manage complex roles with multiple facets.

My analytical mindset goes beyond technical skills; I'm known for my creative problem-solving and ability to perform under pressure, which has made me a valuable team player. I bring a positive outlook to every project, seeing challenges as opportunities, which helps in fostering a collaborative and motivating team environment.

Educationally, I've enhanced my technical expertise with courses from Marsh University in Insurance Valuations and Fixed Asset Management, alongside a Business and Marketing course from Damelin, giving me a well-rounded foundation in both technology and business.

In essence, I am not only a technologist but also a strategic thinker and leader. My career reflects my ability to improve business processes through technology, manage complex projects, and deliver results that align with overarching business objectives.
