At Yellow Topaz Limited, I designed and implemented a bespoke PMO governance framework for a £5M IT transformation programme, reducing decision turnaround times by 25%. I also improved supplier oversight to deliver an estimated £45K in savings and developed stakeholder tools that increased engagement by 30%.

Across government programmes, I achieved 100% GovS 002 compliance across three programmes and led RAID management and PMO secretariat functions. At the Department of Work & Pensions, I work with employers and clients to improve engagement and employment outcomes, using labour market intelligence and performance data to guide placements and service improvements.
