About

I am an integrator, a dynamic, astute and strategically driven operations and project management consultant with over 27 years of industry experience. I have a passion for what I do. As a lateral thinker, I'd sooner develop options for cost-effective solutions rather than dwell on problems. As an industry veteran and seasoned management consultant, I possess the expertise to deliver effective strategic solutions tailored to your specific business needs. My default disposition is one of equanimity, enabling me to drive positive change through effective, efficient and intelligent solutions rooted in first principles. Consistency is crucial to me, and I strive to simplify and streamline while keeping the audience in mind. I believe in the power of "less is more" and understand that sometimes addition involves subtraction. With a reputation built on professionalism and consistent delivery, I leverage AI to enhance efficiency and data-driven decision-making. My contractual orientation has equipped me to carry out forensic exercises and effectively manage conflict resolution, ensuring schedules are realigned for optimal performance. I am an SME in project management, planning, risk and change management, and process development and implementation. From leading feasibility studies with small teams of three to managing a portfolio of 375 projects valued at £550 million over five years, I have demonstrated my ability to scale and strategically plan for success. I take pride in never having had a project fail. I have been sought out to handle high-stakes "firefighting" exercises for multi-billion-pound projects. Through my expertise, I successfully realigned schedules that had drifted into delay, implementing a recovery process. In one instance, I exceeded the 75% contractual obligation, achieving a 96% delivery after five months, having started at 53%, which had been achieved in a year and a half. This accomplishment set a new benchmark for PFI's. In another scenario, I was brought in to salvage a project in complete disarray. By implementing a hybrid methodology of Waterfall and Agile, I accelerated the schedule, resolved procurement and logistical issues, and implemented effective management systems. Constant monitoring and risk mitigation ensured the project was delivered with a two-week buffer. My impactful experience spans various industries and sectors. In the realm of digital marketing agencies, I have excelled in staffing contingent hiring, collaboratively setting marketing strategies, and implementing streamlined tech stacks to drive sales and enhance brand awareness. I have successfully established PMOs with web design agencies, hired project teams, and optimised organizational structures to promote cross-functional collaboration. I have also executed customer retention exercises and restored confidence in agency capabilities.
