About Rita

I'm a senior programme and transformation professional with 10+ years of experience leading complex, multi-market initiatives across global organisations — including a 4-year engagement with Johnson & Johnson spanning 80+ markets across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.
I specialise in bringing structure, clarity and momentum to environments where ambiguity is the norm. Whether it's designing governance frameworks, aligning senior stakeholders across functions and geographies, or embedding AI and data tools into delivery workflows — I make programmes land.
My background spans FMCG, pharma, and data analytics, with hands-on experience in Snowflake, Power BI, Tableau, and Azure DevOps. I'm equally comfortable in the boardroom and in the detail.
I work with leadership teams, global capability centres, and scale-ups who need someone who can hit the ground running — no handholding required.
What I can help you with:

- Programme and portfolio management
- Operational transformation and process design
- Stakeholder alignment and governance frameworks
- KPI and performance tracking models
- AI and data tool adoption across teams
- Cross-functional delivery in matrixed, international environments
