FAQs
1. What type of work do you specialise in?
My main area is digital programme and transformation leadership across products, platforms, web, mobile, data and enterprise systems. I’ve taken work from discovery, strategy, business cases and roadmaps through mobilisation, recovery, governance, supplier management, delivery, integration, testing, release and service transition. The work is often complex, involving several workstreams, technical dependencies, competing priorities, multiple suppliers and stakeholders or significant commercial pressure. In other cases, the challenge is taking a broad strategic objective and turning it into a programme that is properly prioritised, funded, governed and deliverable.
2. Who do you work with?
I have worked with SMEs, blue-chip brands, fintech startups, and global organisations across sectors like technology, finance, media, and creative industries. My clients have included Lloyds Banking Group, Ascential, Jacobs Media, and fintech startups like Huru.co.
3. Do you take on contract or permanent roles?
I primarily focus on contract roles in digital project management, product delivery, and digital transformation, but I consider permanent leadership roles if there’s a strong fit.
4. What industries do you specialise in?
I have deep expertise in digital, technology, finance, media, and creative sectors, delivering projects in fintech, mobile banking, e-commerce, SaaS platforms, and global digital transformations.
5. How can I work with you?
You can reach out via LinkedIn, email, or through my website to discuss potential consulting projects, contract work, or strategic digital initiatives.
6. What makes you different?
I bring 15+ years of experience, a mix of hands-on and strategic leadership, and a track record of delivering complex digital projects and high-profile brand campaigns. I understand both the technical and commercial aspects of digital transformation, ensuring projects deliver ROI and real business impact.
