I'm an accomplished senior leader with a track record of driving transformation, technology strategy, and operational excellence across automotive, finance, and energy sectors. I’m known for a pragmatic, empowering leadership style that builds high-performing teams and nurtures leaders through coaching and mentoring. I’ve delivered multi-million pound programmes, shaped strategic roadmaps, and translated complex technology into clear business value. I influence executives, foster collaboration across business and IT, and simplify technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders. I’ve managed large, cross-functional teams (including offshore resources) with full accountability for performance and outcomes, and I bring hands-on engineering capability to deliver practical, scalable solutions.
