About me

Through my experience, I have accomplished many methods to ensure that business change and transformation is well considered and well implemented. Techniques including, Pilots, Proof of Concepts, thorough QA & User Testing should de-risk investment in new systems. These techniques or tactics work well and can be adopted in a service design process or using design thinking to solve business problems. Having started off my career as a programmer I am confident and structured both technically and as an end to end CMS specialist. Working with a vast range of third-party agencies, designers and developers, I have developed my communication skills to be clear, concise and professional to provide a seamless service for success. I employ a people first attitude followed closely by strong processes; peoples time and complex business systems require strong due diligence followed by good governance and guidelines that don’t damage the business opportunities and clearly maps out the multiple relationships between different systems and environments. I’m passionate about what I do and want to inject that into an organisation by employing an agile and flexible approach to development and delivery. I am a great believer in strong team ethos where I like to lead by example and to nurture, develop and support the team’s functions for success as a leader and motivator.
