Programme Director - People Leader | Technology | Transformation | Assurance | Delivery
I am passionate about making organisations smarter to take their businesses to the next level by bringing technology to life. I get a kick out of exploiting new technology trends to solve complex business problems. For the last 20 years, I have helped global transportation, logistics, retail and financial companies achieve over £50m benefits in commercial, customer experience and operations.
My talent with people together with a think ahead and keep things simple mindset, has helped achieve transformation at TfL, Arriva and now at Royal Mail. I have the capability to integrate into new organisations, motivate high impact teams, influence senior managers and direct complex technology enabled business change programmes in fast-paced and demanding environments.
If you are looking for a person who not only drives programmes and projects according to best practices but also somebody who owns the problem, can deal with ambiguity, moves ahead even when the way forward is not clear, can shake things up and gets things done – one with a strategic mindset and a strong focus on coaching teams to achieve high impact, connect with me.
