Skills
Strategy
I operate at a strategic level, shaping data and analytics direction across complex enterprise environments with program-level accountability. This includes influencing investment priorities, defining capability roadmaps, and aligning initiatives to organisational objectives. I work directly with C-level stakeholders and SteerCo forums, contributing to decision-making, managing risk, and ensuring that a strategy becomes actionable outcomes that deliver measurable business value.
Technology
I lead the application of data and analytics technology within enterprise programs, ensuring that architectural and platform decisions support long-term capability and business needs. My focus is on guiding technology direction rather than implementation alone—ensuring solutions are scalable, sustainable, and aligned to strategic objectives. I work closely with technical teams and executive stakeholders to balance innovation, risk, and delivery practicality.
Commercial
I take an active leadership role in commercial engagement, including owning and shaping opportunities, defining solution approaches, and aligning outcomes to business value. This includes working with senior stakeholders to translate complex challenges into viable, outcome-driven initiatives and contributing to growth through strong client engagement. My role spans the full lifecycle from opportunity definition through to delivery, maintaining accountability for outcomes at a program level.
Delivery
I lead the delivery of data and analytics initiatives at the program level, with responsibility for aligning stakeholders, managing complexity, and ensuring outcomes are achieved. I engage regularly with executive stakeholders and SteerCo, providing clarity on progress, risks, and direction. My approach focuses on accountability, transparency, and ensuring that delivery is not only technically successful but also adopted and capable of delivering sustained organisational impact.
