Management consultant and project delivery leader focused on transformation and change.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Management Consultant and British Army reservist with over a decade delivering complex, high-value programmes across defence, aerospace, and public sector environments. I’m known for leading transformation work, driving P3M maturity assessments, and executing change management initiatives under pressure—while staying effective in ambiguity.
In my current Technical Manager role at MIGSO-PCUBED, I lead delivery performance within a digital transformation programme in an Agile framework. I run daily start-of-shift meetings and end-of-shift reviews to maintain cadence, align work packages, and remove blockers, and I line-manage a team of consultants to ensure consistency, accuracy, and timely delivery of key outputs.
Earlier roles strengthened my ability to own programme outcomes through rigorous project controls and structured delivery. At Rolls-Royce, I led work packages for the Global Combat Air Programme (Tempest), delivering cost, risk, schedule, and scope controls, maintaining the Programme Risk Register, and using data-driven monthly reporting and long-range forecasting models. I’m also a published thought leader on human-centred project delivery, chair the APM Corporate Advisory Group, and am currently pursuing Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) status to deepen my commitment to delivery excellence, leadership, and long-term impact.
