About

An experienced senior leader with a proven track record in world-class organisations across the nuclear and automotive sectors, I am committed to creating an environment where teams have the freedom to perform. I foster collaboration and innovation to deliver exceptional results for customers and stakeholders. My career is defined by the ability to lead and develop high-performing teams, driving strategic and operational improvements that enhance efficiency, resilience, and compliance in complex, highly regulated environments. In my current role as Head of Defence Partnering, I lead the development and execution of strategies that maximise taxpayer value and deliver benefits-led outcomes. As the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) for NTS on the Civil-Defence Nuclear Collaboration Programme, I oversee the full lifecycle of projects, ensuring alignment with UK government policy. This includes managing a dedicated team, building strong relationships across government and industry, and working collaboratively with internal stakeholders to deliver innovative, resilient solutions.
