What I'm looking for

I seek senior delivery roles in regulated or enterprise environments where I can lead program delivery, embed compliance, scale Agile practices, mentor teams, and drive measurable efficiency and adoption improvements.

I am a Senior Project Manager and Scrum Master with nine years of experience delivering multimillion-dollar programs in regulated environments for global banks and enterprise clients. I blend governance and servant-leadership to turn complexity into clarity and consistently deliver measurable outcomes.

I have led a $35M private-banking infrastructure transformation with zero audit findings, rolled out Monday.com to 2,000+ users across global banks, and delivered IT and security systems for Apple EU HQ. I embed compliance into delivery while coaching teams on Agile practices to improve predictability, cycle time, and stakeholder trust.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Cloud Computing, several Microsoft and industry certifications, and am advancing PMP and PRINCE2 Practitioner certifications. I seek roles where I can drive continuous improvement, scale delivery frameworks, and mentor cross-functional teams to high performance.
