About

A hands-on, passionate Senior Project and Cutover Manager with a proven Healthcare, Finance, Digital Pathology and Laboratory Go Live record.

I simplify complex IT challenges to ensure full understanding and contribution from all involved, prioritising stakeholder satisfaction and empowering teams to achieve common goals. I drive innovation and maintain a focus on delivering optimized solutions in dynamic environments, with an emphasis on transparent working methods, fostering enquiry and contribution, and promoting a “why not” and “can do” attitude to move forward.
