What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles combining clinical research and investigative rigor, with strong governance, team leadership, and opportunities to manage complex, high-impact projects.

I am a clinical project manager and investigator with over 20 years' experience leading complex, multidisciplinary projects across clinical research and national-level investigations. I have repeatedly delivered projects on time and on budget, managed multi-million pound funds, and prepared high-quality documentation and presentations for regulators and international stakeholders.

My background spans clinical trial setup and delivery (Phase II/III oncology and large international stroke studies), unit management, and advanced investigative work with the National Crime Agency’s National Cyber Crime Unit. I have led teams of clinicians and investigators, negotiated contracts and budgets, and driven compliance for audits and regulatory requirements.

I combine technical familiarity with clinical trial systems and forensic investigation tools with strong leadership, risk management, and stakeholder engagement skills. I deliver clear, defensible case files and research outputs, and I am motivated by roles that require rigorous governance, cross-organisational coordination, and measurable impact.
