My role is to redefine project governance across the business, integrating cyber security and data protection compliance into the new processes. I have designed and led training and awareness campaigns for IT and Business departments, and am involved in managing a portfolio of over 150 projects, including critical infrastructure transformation programmes and business-critical solutions projects. My expertise ranges from implementing project tracking tools and setting up a weekly bottom-up reporting cycle, culminating in the creation of a portfolio dashboard with KPIs. Coaching project managers on best practice and consolidating monthly IT operational KPIs are also part of my responsibilities. With effective strategic communication and a mastery of agile and P2P methods, I aim to strengthen the capabilities of our teams and optimise the delivery of our projects.
