What I'm looking for

I seek a senior delivery role in a collaborative, client-focused company where I can lead professional services, mentor teams, and drive measurable commercial outcomes.

I am a strategic, results-driven Professional Services Program and Project Manager with over seven years of international experience delivering complex, high-value projects across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid models.

I partner with clients and cross-functional teams to mitigate risk, manage escalations, and drive revenue—having supported delivery of $10M+ in professional services and achieved measurable budget savings and KPI improvements.

I have delivered enterprise SaaS and on-premise implementations, standardized PMO documentation, managed global portfolios valued between $10M–$15M, and led teams to improve operational efficiency and client satisfaction.

I focus on commercially favourable outcomes, mentoring associate project managers, and applying the right delivery methodology to maximize efficiency, manage risk, and ensure portfolio success.
