Nadia Engelbrecht
@nadiaengelbrecht
I lead digital delivery, strategy, and cross-functional teams to turn complex projects into predictable outcomes.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I've led software and digital delivery across international markets, most recently as Development Team Lead and Senior Project Manager at Klingit Agency. I built a web-project costing model, owned proposals for around 35 new accounts, and improved utilization by 10% while reducing project timelines by about 25%.
As an independent strategy consultant, I advise fintech and technology businesses on brand, marketing, and investment decisions. I developed a discovery process that won a £20k app design deal—four times an agency's previous highest-paying deal—and have unblocked complex payments and reservations projects for South African National Parks.
