About Peter

Senior Business Analyst | Digital Transformation & Automation (Utilities & Regulated Sectors)

I’m a senior Business Analyst with over 30 years’ experience supporting organisations through complex digital transformation and automation programmes, particularly within energy, utilities, public‑sector, and other regulated environments.
I typically work on outcome‑focused, project‑based engagements, supporting clients from early discovery through to delivery. My work often involves analysing complex end‑to‑end processes, shaping digital solutions, and helping delivery teams move quickly while maintaining clarity and control.
I’m highly hands‑on and comfortable operating autonomously, regularly supporting:

Structured discovery workshops and current‑state analysis
Process modelling and optimisation
Definition of epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria
Backlog ownership and refinement using Jira
High‑quality documentation and traceability using Confluence
Visual problem‑solving and stakeholder alignment using tools such as Miro

Much of my recent experience has been focused on low‑code and automation platforms, including Appian, alongside broader digitalisation initiatives across operational and field‑based services.
I work remotely from the UK, engaging directly with clients and delivery teams, with occasional onsite sessions where they add value. I’m used to operating independently while remaining closely aligned to client objectives and delivery outcomes.
