Adrian’s career began in the retail petroleum industry, and he moved on through casino administration to financial computer systems, payroll processing, and software development & sales.<\/p>\n
The next step for Adrian was the development of people, facilitating a move into recruitment & contracting of IT skills, then on to technical training, before joining CompTIA in January 2000 as the regional international sales & marketing director.<\/p>\n

Over and above this Adrian has spent 20 years involved in activities to promote standards and growth in the ICT sector through his voluntary involvement in various industry associations and ICT-related projects. <\/p>\n
Adrian says: "I am honoured to be elected President of CSSA, and I thank the Executive Council for putting their trust in me to take over the responsibilities from the capable hands of Moira de Roche."<\/p>\n
