I am passionate about truly understanding the clients' needs and business, ensuring successful engagement deliverables and establishing long-term relationships as a trusted partner to deliver our business offerings.

I encourage an inclusive working environment to allow for diverse and varied opinions and solutions be formulated. I enjoy digging into the detail while also providing high level strategies.

I have extensive IT Investment Protection & Optimisation experience focusing on ICT spend reviews, project financial management, budget process management and optimization, forecasting, application and service TCO, IT value transparency, scenario and sensitivity modelling, chargeback modelling and Technology Business Management.

Outside of work I enjoy helping the community and I am an active member in the Belrose Rural Fire Brigade.
