Description

I am a Programme Director specialising in large-scale digital and IT transformation, with over eighteen years of experience managing £multi-million change programmes across telecoms, financial services, defence, and logistics. I have a proven track record of rescuing distressed programmes, launching new revenue-generating platforms, and leading global teams to deliver at pace in complex, regulated environments. I am highly skilled in stakeholder engagement, communication, risk mitigation, and conflict resolution at the C-suite level, and I am available immediately for contract and interim roles.
