What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic delivery and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a strategic and delivery-focused project and programme leader with over 15 years of experience in delivering business and technology change across various sectors, including healthcare, financial services, insurance, and cybersecurity. My expertise lies in navigating compliance-led environments and aligning with FCA, NHS, and data governance standards. I am known for my ability to drive progress in fast-paced, multi-stakeholder settings, balancing technical fluency with board-level credibility.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed competing priorities across global programmes, leading concurrent workstreams that span both technical and non-technical teams. I bring structure to ambiguity and build momentum quickly. My calm approach under pressure has been recognized, and I have a proven track record of delivering measurable results in low maturity or high-pressure environments. I am proficient in Agile, PRINCE2, MSP, and hybrid delivery methodologies, with hands-on experience in risk, resource, and cost management.
