March 2020 - Today (6 years and 3 months)
Southampton, United Kingdom
At Perfect Concept Ltd, I provide senior-level project and programme delivery consultancy across technology, AV, data-centre, and telecommunications environments. I founded the business to support organisations in translating strategic objectives into controlled, commercially accountable execution.

I take full end-to-end ownership of programmes from requirements definition and planning through to execution, governance, and operational handover. My work spans data-centre build environments, structured cabling and BMS works, AV rollouts, and multi-site infrastructure upgrades.

I operate at the intersection of engineering, operations, and commercial stakeholders — ensuring alignment across scope, budget, risk, and delivery milestones. My approach is structured and governance-led, with strong emphasis on integrated planning, critical path management, RAID frameworks, supplier performance management, and financial control. I have delivered engineering and infrastructure programmes within regulated telecom and compliance-driven environments requiring disciplined change control, documentation governance, and structured risk management.

Through disciplined project controls and PMO frameworks, I have:

Improved reporting accuracy by 30%
Delivered portfolio growth from £9m to £34m
Scaled operational teams from 8 to 35 staff
Established PMO governance structures overseeing 10 Project Managers

I am equally comfortable engaging executive sponsors as I am working directly with engineers and contractors on site. I am known for bringing operational clarity to complex environments, stabilising delivery risk, and driving accountability across cross-functional teams.

My focus is always on delivering measurable outcomes — strengthening governance, accelerating delivery, and protecting commercial performance.
