With a demonstrable past in managing globally diverse teams, multi-million-pound budgets and a proven track record for successful delivery of digital propositions and business transformation programmes, my skills and experience enable me to be highly effective in delivering high-quality solutions whilst facilitating business change.
Strong interest in new technologies and an extensive experience in different industries, such as Telecommunication, Retail, Healthcare, Transport and Financial Services Media/Publishing.
