Expert delivery leadership for complex digital services
Embedded leadership and practical training for central government and large-scale private sector organisations
I am a delivery leader and consultant. Whether embedded in your team, providing retained support, or delivering practical training, I help organisations navigate complex change with a steady hand.
With two decades of experience in delivery and project management, I focus on the people as much as the milestones. My approach is practical, people-centred, and designed to create the calm environment teams need to do their best work.
Experience across the public and private sectors
I have supported central government departments, large global organisations, digital agencies, and charities to get digital services on track and successfully delivered.

I help teams and organisations deliver complex work through three core services:
Embedded leadership: Joining your team as an interim Delivery Manager, Head of Delivery, or Delivery Director. From Discovery through to Alpha, Beta, and Live phases, I steer complex work, unblock delivery, and keep multi-disciplinary teams aligned.
Retained support: Ongoing, high-level guidance for your existing leads and teams. I provide independent delivery assurance, prepare teams for GDS Service Assessments, and help senior stakeholders unstick stalled transformation projects.
Practical training: Structured courses designed to build core delivery skills and confidence. I offer a suite of defined training programmes tailored to equip your internal teams with the practical tools they need to sustain delivery.
