Agile Delivery Lead at LGT Wealth Management, replacing a £500k-a-year reporting provider with in-house Power BI.

At LGT Wealth Management, I lead delivery for the Figaro and Data Warehouse teams, planning data platform and reporting changes with engineers and stakeholders. I manage backlogs in Jira and help prioritise work for delivery value.

I led the Data Warehouse project that replaced an external reporting provider costing £500k a year with in-house Power BI. I also deliver Power BI reporting on FactSet data and HR reporting.

Previously, I introduced Kanban at The Andersons to help stabilise delivery within four sprints. At DXC Technology, I led two cross-functional teams, including delivery of a Tesco Bank onboarding platform, and contributed to a 15% cut in deployment time through DevOps practices alongside Agile.
