I own project and programme delivery end-to-end across technology and transformation programmes within multinational organisations. I have recently led large scale Oracle ERP Cloud and IFS Cloud programmes, greenfield and brownfield implementations, multi-country rollouts, programme recovery, post go-live stabilisation and continuous improvement. ๐นKEY HIGHLIGHTS: โ ERP Program Manager implementing IFS Cloud ERP across a โฌ1bn+ revenue regional business & 7 countries ๐ โ Delivering a continuous improvement portfolio for Oracle ERP Cloud in a global 35K employee organisation ๐ โ Global business process design and implementing Oracle ERP Cloud replacing 20+ legacy business platforms โ๏ธ ๐นWHAT SETS ME APART: I operate at the intersection of business and technology, focusing on "๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ" by aligning delivery with organisational priorities and stakeholder expectations. I bring a strong commercial and financial perspective to transformation initiatives, supported by my background as a part-qualified CIMA management accountant. Alongside my delivery experience, I actively strengthen my technology fluency across cloud platforms and emerging digital capabilities to better support complex transformation programmes. ๐นMY APPROACH: I am known for being hands-on and delivery focused when managing programmes and projects.
