@louisepayne
Delivery and technology leader driving global programmes, platform modernisation, and cost optimisation.
South AfricaI am a Delivery & Technology Leader with 20+ years' experience delivering global tech programmes, regulatory market entries, and platform modernisation across highly regulated industries. I focus on stakeholder alignment, measurable business outcomes, and scaling Agile ways of working to deliver value.
I've launched products into the UK, US and Asian markets, led cloud and Kubernetes migrations for dozens of APIs, and delivered cost savings including a £100k/month reduction by consolidating observability tooling. I build repeatable delivery patterns, dashboards and migration templates that accelerate outcomes and improve governance.
I mentor and coach delivery teams and PMs, champion change management and compliance, and partner with architecture and finance to provide visibility and forecasting for technology spend. I am outcome-driven, risk-aware, and experienced at leading large, cross-functional teams to meet strategic OKRs.
