What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global HR service delivery, shared-services, and digital transformation portfolios where I can partner with executive leaders, build high-performing teams, and deliver measurable value through scalable operating models, governance, and AI-enabled technology.

At Capgemini Invent UK, I lead enterprise HR service delivery and transformation programmes exceeding €40M, spanning Workday, ServiceNow, Oracle, UKG, and Legion. I direct global workforce management and HR service delivery rollouts for 100,000+ employees across 30+ markets.

I've built operating models, governance frameworks, and data integration standards connecting HR, payroll, and finance reporting. I work directly with C-suite leaders and boards to turn transformation strategies into prioritised roadmaps, measurable outcomes, and AI-enabled ways of working.

Previously, I led EMEA solution architecture for Workday HCM and Finance at Collaborative Solutions, securing contracts worth up to €15M and improving pursuit conversion by 30%. At HCL Technologies, I established and scaled the EMEA Workday practice, owning its P&L, pricing, resource planning, and operational performance.

My career also includes global HR technology, shared services, organisation design, and change leadership roles at IBM, Accenture, and Diageo. I bring 20+ years of experience leading complex international programmes, developing high-performing teams, and delivering sustainable service improvement.
