I lead transformation programmes that truly make a difference, helping clients try new ways of working without overcomplicating things. Whilst keeping delivery on track and straightforward, I also coach leaders to bring out the best in their teams. I focus on turning strategy into action that sticks, creating space for people to enjoy the work while achieving results. Trusted relationships, energy, and optimism are at the heart of how I drive complex change.

I’ve spent over 15 years leading programmes and projects across a range of sectors, helping teams and leaders adopt Agile in ways that feel natural and effective. I shape digital strategies, redesign services, and work seamlessly with partners to create a unified team experience. Known for clear, honest communication, I build strong relationships and create spaces where people can perform at their best, all while keeping governance and delivery on track.

These include leading large-scale transformations that make change stick, such as a five-year digital programme with Sheffield City Council and new operating models with International Airlines Group during COVID. I’ve helped organisations embrace business agility, modernise technology, and keep people engaged through complex shifts. From British Airways to local government, I focus on leaving behind confident, high-performing teams, not dependency. And outside of work, I channel the same persistence, for example, running the Belfast Marathon in 2hrs 50 mins.

I’m known for keeping things positive and bringing energy into the room, even in tough situations. I make the complex feel simple, listen with empathy, and focus on people as much as processes. Pragmatic and outcome-driven, I cut through the noise to get things done without taking myself too seriously. A little humour goes a long way, and I believe enjoying the journey matters just as much as achieving the outcome.
