Ross Polson-  in the Spotlight 

With impressive networks experience and a way of getting the job done, Ross Polson, has enjoyed a variety of roles with a leading UK banking group over the past fifteen years.  Recent projects have been quite diverse in nature but needed the same skill set, consistent approach and cool head under pressure.

As a project lead for bringing social media to this banking group, Ross spent a year looking at the connectivity of Ipad, Iphones and other recently introduced communications tools.   With the major challenge of security overcome, the project successfully went live late last year.

Ross said, “It was gratifying seeing the project go live.  Some of the applications were really quick and useful, particularly the remote applications.”

Ross is currently grappling with a new project relating to real estate within a separate division of the group and working out what infrastructure sits where and assessing what will be needed going forward.  The difficulty in this information gathering exercise is the struggle to get to the bottom of things and determine what actually sits in which buildings!

After a myriad of challenges to overcome at the start, Ross is happy that he has built a good relationship with the team reporting to him.  The team are also starting to build up the bank of information they need before any recommendations can be made.

A real highlight of the project for Ross was finding a great new consultant who he has recently convinced to join the Ballintrae team.

Ross enjoys working for Ballintrae and the relationships he has within the business.  He also finds it refreshing to be able to influence management decisions.  In his spare time, Ross enjoys football and goes running.
