Description

I help organisations deliver complex digital and defence programmes with clarity, pace, and measurable outcomes. As a senior project professional with deep expertise in Agile and PMO transformation, I bring over a decade of leadership across MOD commercial frameworks.

Clients value me for my ability to cut through delivery noise, restructure underperforming programmes, and build high performing teams across multi supplier environments. I’ve led £5M+ programmes, driven PMO migrations, and implemented governance that sticks.

I typically support digital transformation programmes, defence sector delivery, and projects requiring hands on PM leadership, strategic reconciliation, or business analysis across distributed teams. Whether it’s planning, delivery, or stakeholder wrangling I get it done.
