ABOUT

Technology leadership with delivery depth.

I combine programme governance with hands-on understanding of software delivery, APIs, banking infrastructure, cloud platforms and customer journeys.

From code to boardroom

My career progressed from software engineering and enterprise banking applications into business analysis, product management, project leadership and multi-workstream programme delivery.

Business-led technology

I translate business needs into roadmaps, requirements, governance and releases — keeping customer outcomes, operational value, risk and adoption visible throughout delivery.

Regulated environments

Experience spans banking, financial crime, payments, ESG, public service and customer information — environments where delivery quality, traceability, security and control matter.
