About Dattatray
Senior IT Project Manager with 18+ years of experience delivering complex IT projects across enterprise environments.
I specialise in M&A-driven IT integration projects, infrastructure transitions, and cross-border delivery, typically stepping in where timelines are tight and coordination risk is high.
Most recently, I worked with Legrand (France) on post-acquisition IT integration projects across Australia and New Zealand, managing end-to-end IT docking activities including infrastructure alignment, identity and access integration, security baseline alignment, governance, and operational handover.
I work on contract or consulting-style IT project roles, and I’m comfortable operating in remote or hybrid global environments.
