About Louise

Freelance strategic program director, specializing in sovereign environments (Defense, Nuclear, Critical Industries).
I support organizations facing complex challenges: steering sensitive programs, transforming project teams, improving operational and financial performance, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
I intervene when organizations need to secure their projects, structure their governance, strengthen their PMO, or turn around a struggling portfolio.

What sets me apart:
- Mastery of sovereign and regulated environments (nuclear, defense, critical systems)
- Ability to manage multi-site and multi-stakeholder strategic programs
- Expertise in financial performance (margins, cash flow, KPIs)
- Experience in organizational transformation and PMO structuring
- HSE and nuclear quality skills (ISO 19443 – ICA certification in progress)
- Management of international teams and critical supplier steering
Types of missions I undertake:
- Strategic program direction (defense, nuclear, energy, critical systems)
- Project organization transformation / PMO creation or strengthening
- Project portfolio turnaround and performance improvement
- Risk management, compliance, internal HSE / ISO 19443 audits
