Shaping the future

Calvis has appointed Laurence Traboulsi as a managing consultant. Laurence will be tasked with project managing new and existing business for Calvis’s SharePoint, Vendor Selection and Technology Management Services (TMS) propositions.

Most recently, Laurence held a project manager position at Eversheds where he was most notably involved with replacing the existing company-wide extranet with a SharePoint solution and building infrastructure to host internet based applications. He has previously held similar positions at Legal & General and Ericsson. Laurence’s industry experience will be used to fine tune Calvis’s agile approach to delivering complex client requirements on time and to budget; the consultancy’s philosophy is to evaluate a project as it develops resulting in faster and more accurate decision making.

Chris Lees, executive director at Calvis, said: “At Calvis we have been using an agile approach to project management for a number of years and are renowned for reacting quickly to issues and finding solutions that work without losing time. We don’t tend to work with functional specifications, but aim higher and look to encourage strategic dialogue around business and revenue objectives. By bringing Laurence into the team our capacity to have those board level conversations has increased. He has worked with some of the biggest brands in the professional services sector and is therefore well aware of the business and technology challenges these companies face. He is a welcome addition.”
