What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior PMO/IT project leadership role where I can build PMO capability, drive large-scale SAP/cloud transformations, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable efficiency and cost savings in a collaborative, improvement-focused environment.

I am a PMO and IT project management professional with a Masters in Technical Project Management and 13 years' industry experience delivering PMO, demand/release management and SAP S/4HANA projects across global organisations.

I have established PMO functions, governance, PPM processes and templates at blue-chip firms, led PMO for multi-million pound/global transformation programmes, and driven measurable cost and efficiency improvements.

My strengths include stakeholder engagement, risk and RAID management, project controls, MS Project and PowerBI reporting, and leading onshore/offshore teams through both waterfall and agile lifecycles.

I seek to apply my process improvement ethos, technical knowledge and leadership to deliver complex IT change, ensure compliance and optimise delivery across multifunctional programmes.
