What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and impactful project delivery in a dynamic environment.

I am a seasoned Senior Business Analyst and Project Manager with over 15 years of international experience in delivering complex multi-million Pound change programmes across various sectors, including Banking, Petroleum, Retail, and Public sectors. My expertise lies in implementing Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid methodologies, allowing me to lead programme-wide teams effectively and build long-term relationships with stakeholders, including C-suite executives.

Throughout my career, I have consistently supported businesses in achieving their strategic objectives by assessing business needs, evaluating options, and providing actionable recommendations to enhance business and system processes. My track record includes successfully managing large-scale projects, such as the implementation of a scalable data warehousing platform for BAE Systems, which involved negotiating commercial contracts that significantly increased profit margins. I am passionate about driving digital transformation and change management, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget while fostering a collaborative team environment.
