About

Senior Project Controls and Planning Leader with over 25 years of international experience delivering complex infrastructure, energy, and nuclear programmes. I specialise in integrated planning, baseline development, and performance reporting in multi-stakeholder environments. My focus is on creating realistic, structured plans and providing clear insights that support effective decision-making at programme level. Currently working at ITER, one of the world’s most complex engineering projects, where I contribute to large-scale construction planning, re-baselining efforts, and programme-level reporting. This includes schedule optimisation, simulation-based decision support, and improving governance and data consistency across stakeholders. Across my career, I have worked in international and high-demand environments (offshore, EPC, petrochemical), building a strong foundation in project controls, cost management, and execution planning. I am particularly interested in roles where I can contribute to improving delivery performance, strengthening planning structures, and supporting organisations in managing complex programmes effectively.
