Who Am I
I have over two decades of experience leading and transforming data and technology functions across diverse industries, including public sector, biopharma and financial services. My niche is advising clients and solving their problems, working in the "grey area" between the business and the technologists.
Throughout my career I have delivered tangible results and enabled business growth across diverse industries and geographies. I have built and led high-performing international teams, managed complex data services and operations, and provided strategic consultancy to senior stakeholders.
My personal career highlight, to date, was overseeing the global data landscape for Pfizer, at the height of the Covid Pandemic, locked in my home, working with fantastic colleagues across the world to deliver data to the scientists and the business, as they worked to develop a vaccine.
I am passionate about fostering a culture of diversity and innovation in my teams, where different perspectives and ideas are valued and encouraged. I believe that collaboration, communication, and continuous learning are the key to achieving personal excellence and for delivering team resilience in our fast-changing digital world.
My career goal/aspiration is to continue guiding and supporting businesses through their data and technology transformation journeys, ensuring they achieve their full potential and competitive edge.
