About me

With 12 years of defense and regulated sector experience, I manage critical hardware and software programs where failure is not an option. I combine robust delivery governance with a proven track record of preventing regulatory fines and operational disruptions.

I don't run standups. I run programmes.

Euroclear. AVIV Group. Solvay. Regulated finance, fintech, digital transformation. Environments where late delivery means regulatory fines and executive escalations. I've been the person called in to fix it. Today I'm leading programme-level delivery in defence technology at Orqa — coordinating initiatives across hardware, firmware, software, R&D, and digital transformation for ISR systems, UAS platforms, and communications technologies.

Over the past 12 years, my role has evolved from team-level delivery to programme-level coordination, where success depends on managing dependencies, aligning stakeholders, reducing delivery risk, and helping organisations make better decisions at scale.

I'm most effective when:

Multiple teams contribute to the same outcome
Priorities compete for attention, and someone needs to own the call
Dependencies slow delivery, and nobody is tracking the critical path
Leadership needs real visibility, not status games.

Not a methodology evangelist. I care about one thing: does delivery move forward, predictably, with the right people making the right decisions at the right time. If it doesn't — that's the problem I solve.
