What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support boards and leadership teams delivering strategically important transformation, particularly where secure delivery, regulatory scrutiny, governance and operational scale demand clear oversight and practical action.

I lead complex, high-risk change where technology, operations and governance meet. My work spans central government, public health, clean energy and international development, creating order from complexity and strengthening governance.

At Cabinet Office Digital, I lead the Falcon Programme: a secure migration from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 across 37 business units and more than 9,000 users, aligned with GCHQ, NCSC and GDPR requirements. I also serve as Director of Operations at 2HGEN, scaling green hydrogen production operations while maintaining safety, quality and regulatory compliance.

I’ve delivered the UK’s first national Covid-19 Biobank for Public Health England, transformed Corporate PMO governance at NHS Digital, and led an international NGO across Africa and Asia. I help boards and leadership teams manage delivery risk, portfolio decisions and mission-critical transformation safely and sustainably.
