What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, where I can leverage my project management skills to drive efficiency and deliver impactful results.

I am a seasoned project management professional with over 10 years of experience in delivering IT, infrastructure, and transformation projects across various sectors, including public, private, and charity. My expertise in Agile, Scrum, and PRINCE2 methodologies has enabled me to manage portfolios exceeding £10M and drive efficiency improvements of up to 30%. I excel in governance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, leading cross-functional teams to achieve results in high-pressure environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led numerous projects, including the development of a new contact address system for legal operations at Birkett’s LLP, ensuring compliance with GDPR. As the Director of M&M Homestore Limited, I founded and managed all aspects of the business, focusing on supplier relations and financial planning. My role as a Transition Manager at the Refugee Council allowed me to direct a team of 30, achieving a 20% improvement in project efficiency and implementing new service models that benefited over 200 clients.
