I run a global automotive account for Cognifide, with teams in the USA and Europe, implementing Adobe Marketing Cloud technologies. These days, my specialist subject is delivering complex multi-phase, multi-team Agile programmes for the largest customers. I started out building web sites in 1998, and since then have progressed from Front End development through Project and Programme Management to leading accounts. The common thread throughout my career has been a strong desire to ensure the customer gets the best possible outcome, and a pragmatic and flexible approach to achieving it. My career includes experience in a wide variety of pure project management roles, including working in digital agencies, client side and running the Programme Management Office on a large construction and IT programme. This range of experience has allowed me to explore and adapt the processes necessary to deliver projects in a variety of situations. I have a pragmatic approach to the methodology that I use to deliver projects, believing firmly in changing approach according to the situation: - I was a PRINCE2 practitioner and have practical experience implementing it from the ground up within local government role and agency roles. - I am a Scrum master, and have experience of managing and contracting around Agile projects.
