I have worked across technology transformation, business systems change, M&A integration, separation, cloud and infrastructure modernisation, and ERP / SAP-enabled programmes. I am comfortable stepping into ambiguous delivery settings and quickly creating clarity, priorities, and practical roadmaps. My background includes leading interdependent HR, Finance and data migration workstreams, establishing programme governance, improving RAID and dependency control, and producing executive reporting that supports confident decision-making. I have also led cloud transformation PMO activity, technology integration following acquisition, and large-scale infrastructure and engineering programmes across enterprise environments. I work well with senior stakeholders, business owners, vendors, and delivery teams. I am particularly effective in short-term or fractional assignments where rapid mobilisation is needed, especially where programme recovery, roadmap development, governance reset, or PMO handover is required. I am available immediately for contract assignments and bring a strong mix of delivery leadership, commercial awareness, and structured governance across complex multi-stakeholder programmes.
