What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Implementation and Release Manager with extensive expertise across large-scale business, application, and infrastructure programmes in finance, media, property, and entertainment sectors.
I specialise in leading end-to-end release lifecycles, coordinating complex technology deployments, managing non-prod environment refreshes, and ensuring business readiness across multiple stakeholder groups.
My strengths include dependency management, cross-functional coordination, stakeholder engagement, risk control, and producing detailed cutover run-sheets and go-live plans to deliver stable releases with minimal disruption.
I bring a structured approach, strong process discipline, and collaborative mindset, consistently delivering predictable outcomes on ERP, cloud, and multi-vendor transformations.
