Summary
Experienced and adaptable IT professional with over 10 years in the banking industry, progressing from graduate entrant through support and development roles to leadership positions. I bring a strong delivery track record across high-impact, regulated environments, having led engineering teams through major cloud migrations, regulatory transformations, and platform re-architectures.
I thrive in complex programmes that require both technical insight and clear leadership and I've delivered successfully across both Agile and hybrid delivery models. I have a proven ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders, manage large cross-functional teams, and ensure structured governance in enterprise settings.
I'm now seeking a Delivery Manager role where I can continue driving high-quality, resilient technology change in fast-paced, mission-critical environments.
