Professional profile
I am a Senior Programme Manager and Delivery Leader with over 30 years of experience delivering large-scale technology transformation, digital banking, and strategic change programmes across financial services, consulting, telecommunications, insurance, gaming, and retail sectors. My expertise sits at the intersection of programme delivery, digital transformation, regulatory change, and technology leadership. I help organisations deliver complex, business-critical initiatives by aligning technology, operations, and stakeholder objectives while maintaining strong governance, commercial awareness, and delivery discipline. Currently within HSBC Open Banking, I lead the delivery of strategic Open Banking APIs and regulatory initiatives, managing complex multi-million-pound programmes within highly regulated environments using agile delivery methodologies. I work closely with business, product, architecture, engineering, operations, and third-party stakeholders to drive innovation, regulatory compliance, and customer-focused digital services under demanding timelines.
