Strategic advice and direction
I manage Entec Si’s day-to-day operations, whilst guiding clients through complex, business-critical programmes. With 30 years’ experience across government, education, and health, I bring focus, organisation, and strategic insight to every challenge. I love building strong relationships, mentoring teams, and delivering transformation that creates real, lasting impact for organisations and the people they serve.
"I genuinely enjoy building honest, trusted relationships with clients and colleagues, and take great satisfaction in mentoring and empowering others.”
I have a dual role in Entec Si. I manage the day-to-day operations of the business, but also provide our clients with strategic insight, guidance and direction.
With over 30 years’ experience in large corporate organisations, I specialise in delivering transformation and business change through people, process and technology. I worked for over a decade in the steel industry before spending five years as account director for BAE Submarines at Capita.
I’ve built a reputation as a dynamic, results-driven leader, with a track record in business transformation. I blend strategy with execution, and I’m passionate about empowering others to grow and thrive.
Many! Working for 12 months to secure and deliver the Scottish Wide Area Network was a major initiative, providing a single shared network and common ICT infrastructure across Scotland’s public sector. The teamwork, collaboration and innovation were amazing and seeing the real benefits first–hand in some of the most remote and inhospitable places of the UK gave me a huge sense of satisfaction.
I’m naturally focused and results-driven, with a determined attitude that helps me tackle challenges effectively. I genuinely enjoy building honest, trusted relationships with clients and colleagues, and take great satisfaction in mentoring and empowering others.
Being meticulously organised allows me to stay on track and maintain focus, even when facing complex or demanding problems.
I love seeing the team’s passion and enthusiasm for helping a diverse range of clients navigate business change challenges. It’s incredibly satisfying when we successfully deliver and make a real impact.
Adventuring, taking on new challenges and trying new and different things that scare, but also excite me! I have the DRD4-74 adventure gene!
The challenges are usually physical: I’ve been to Everest Base Camp, climbed Kilimanjaro twice, completed the Marathon des Sables, cycled Land’s End to John O’Groats to name just a few.
I’m also a qualified yoga teacher which brings balance to my life.
Don’t be afraid to try something – it doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed or make mistakes.
Lack of honesty. It might sometimes be hard, but just say it!
Tricky one, as I never reread a book or watch films twice…
I’ve played the double bass in orchestral concerts across Europe including at the Palace of Fontainbleau in Paris.
A parmo – coming from Teesside there’s no other option.
