What I'm looking for

I’m available for an immediate full-time return after a planned family-care break, which is now resolved. I’m continuing to develop my AI-assisted reporting and insight skills.

At Citi, I led a UK team on the regulatory Data Tracing initiative, overseeing programme governance and executive reporting for an OCC exercise. I also facilitated daily cross-region situation rooms to support issue resolution and delivery transparency.

Across NatWest, Bank of America, Network Rail and other organisations, I’ve established PMO services and provided portfolio governance and delivery assurance for regulatory and transformation programmes. At Network Rail, I provided assurance across a £3.3bn transformation programme and managed an Oracle Financials rollout to 500+ users.
