Summary
APM-certified project professional with 8+ years’ experience leading complex, high-impact initiatives across Higher Education and international business. I specialise in translating bold ideas into structured, deliverable projects through inclusive leadership, trusted stakeholder relationships, and a strong sense of purpose.
Currently leading cross-organisational planning for the University of Cambridge’s next multi-billion-pound philanthropic campaign. While I value the ambition and complexity of this work, I am now seeking to apply my skills in a more people-focused, purpose-driven context with tangible social impact.
