Noel is a valuable asset for any organization seeking a dynamic leader to drive digital transformation.

Noel led the technical delivery of the SAP Finance Transformation project at Etihad. This was a very substantial undertaking and it is huge credit to Noel that the programme has delivered on time (18 months) for 62 countries, on budget and with no major issues. I have really appreciated his collaborative approach and, in particular, his contribution to the development of the Finance Data Warehouse which will add real insight to our reporting and analysis. Noel is a great colleague and business partner. I wish him the very best in whatever he decides to do next.

Noel has been a core member of my IT leadership team in Etihad since 2017. His functional expertise, combined with his financial /accounting knowledge and detailed business process understanding and attention to detail gained from working in Internal Audit are invaluable tools that Noel uses to drive business change and deliver amazing results. Since 2017 Noel has consistently exceeded his targets delivering challenging SAP projects, significantly reducing IT costs and improving internal customer satisfaction. I am particularly proud in the way Noel executed the Emiritisation plan giving great opportunities for development to young UAE National university graduates. He has also led the way in implementing the strategy to change the sourcing approach in order to improve quality of service and reduce costs. He is extremely hard working and the quality of his work output is second to none. I would have Noel in any team I lead and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again. On a personal note I would like to thank Noel for his solid support, hard work and great outcomes - always done with a smile and a positive attitude!

I have known Noel since 2016, however I have worked with him closely on the Finance Transformation Program that commenced in late 2018, where I was the sponsor. We had an opportunity to transform the Finance function in Etihad by automating our processes and providing more transparency in financial reporting. Noel did a splendid job in helping us to define and implement our road-map, which included SAP, our ERP as well as other reporting solutions, using Microsoft and automation tools like Robotics and Process Automation. His engagement and collaboration skills are remarkable and worked with my team, as a true partner. I wish him the best in all that he plans to do in the future and I know he will be an asset to any company desiring excellence

Star performer. Smart and Intelligent. Manages people very well. Never seen him angry. Assumes responsibilities. Hardworking professional. His technical abilities are amazing - took over technical implementation of a system when the vendor implementation team abandoned the implementation, and successfully implemented. It's rare to get professionals like him.

I’ve worked alongside Noel for more than a year and have always found him an inspirational leader, coach and mentor. He is a role model to many and a friend to me. If you ever need to know more about this brilliant chap, just ask! Stay safe Stotts

I have really enjoyed partnering with Noel and working on EY's HR digital transformation efforts with him. An inspiring IT leader who is solution oriented, Noel always found ways to get worthy projects/efforts through and championing them from an IT perspective. Laying the foundation stones for several key IT efforts to support business transformation across the corporate functions, he has helped steer very successful efforts/investments at EY. His attention to detail and ex-audit background is an unusual, yet refreshingly formidable combination. With his razor sharp commercial acumen, he is a great partner to work with all round!
