Delivering Measurable Outcomes

Introduction

I am an experienced technologist with a strong track record of leading digital, data, and service transformation in complex, customer facing organisations. I am motivated by using technology to make a real difference by modernising IT operations, so services are reliable, secure, and genuinely improve colleague and customer experiences 


I collaborate with leadership, operational and delivery teams to diagnose the real constraints, develop clear strategy and roadmaps, establish practical governance, and convert intent into measurable execution.


Typical engagements include business and technology strategy development, programme or workstream mobilisation, operating model and service design, supplier and contract performance optimisation, and continuous service improvement across digital workplace, ITSM, and DEX.


My focus is reducing friction, improving user experience, strengthening operational control, and quantifying benefits through clear KPIs and value tracking.


Based in Manchester, UK
