What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, offering opportunities for growth and impactful projects.

I am a seasoned Business Analyst and Finance Specialist with over 15 years of experience in financial systems transformation, ERP implementations, and process improvement across both public and private sectors. My expertise lies in requirements gathering, process and system mapping, user acceptance testing, data migration, and end-user training. As an ACCA part-qualified professional, I possess a strong foundation in operational finance and technology-enabled change.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, including the migration of payment systems at Holiday Extras and the SAP Hosting migration for Transport for London. My analytical skills have enabled me to perform gap analyses and gather detailed business requirements, ensuring smooth transitions and improved service delivery. I am adept at using various systems such as Jira, SAP, and Microsoft Suite, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to innovative solutions.
