Professional profile
Project Manager with 15+ years' experience landing large-scale technology change in complex, multi-department organisations. I specialise in deployment & migration: taking proven, vendor-supplied technology & getting it into the business without disrupting operations. The problems I'm brought in to solve are sequencing, dependencies & business readiness. Recent examples include deploying high-spec desktops to 940 users across 16 business-critical areas at TfL, migrating 33 departments to Windows 10 with 26 business leads, & moving a business-critical legacy system to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE, reporting to CEO & CFO. I'm strong on supplier & commercial management (CEOX, Computacenter, Cisco, Fujitsu, O2), & on building governance where little exists. Recently, I designed a repeatable scoping methodology & stage-gate delivery model from scratch. PRINCE2 Practitioner & PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner, Six Sigma Green Belt, ITIL v3. Best suited to infrastructure, workplace, telephony/UC, migration & ERP/CRM implementation programmes in large, structured environments.
