Leading teams to deliver meaningful business outcomes through AI and agile delivery

About Me

Technology leader with 20+ years’ experience driving digital transformation, AI/ML product delivery, and organisational agility across global teams. Most recently, as Solution Owner & AI Consultant at Provectus, I led the delivery of a generative AI-powered summarisation and information extraction platform for a major UK insurance client, Convex — from product strategy and backlog management to deployment and MLOps adoption. Previously, as Senior Agile Delivery Manager at Costa Coffee, I delivered large-scale technology programmes, including AWS migrations and loyalty platforms serving 6M+ users, achieving £1M annual cost savings. Earlier, at Karhoo Mobility Marketplace, I scaled Agile practices, integrated offshore teams, and built delivery foundations for rapid growth. I combine strategic vision with hands-on leadership to align stakeholders, empower teams, and ensure measurable, high-quality delivery outcomes.
