United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Project Manager with experience delivering complex cross-functional initiatives across energy, water, environmental and regulated sectors. I translate strategic objectives into executable delivery plans, balancing scope, milestones, risks and dependencies to drive measurable outcomes.
In my recent work, I’ve led delivery of water and industry transformation initiatives, including chairing multi-stakeholder governance groups and defining product vision through iterative releases. I’m known for strong governance and reporting—maintaining RAID tracking, decision logs and executive-ready programme updates while keeping stakeholders aligned.
I also focus on continuous improvement and change management, coordinating councils, suppliers and operational teams across multiple workstreams. From operational improvement and innovation projects to digital transformation support, I bring disciplined delivery operations, benefits realisation thinking, and agile execution to fast-paced environments.
