About

Building the systems that run the business.

I'm a Business Analyst and Project Manager focused on digital transformation. Over twenty years I've implemented CRM, HRM, ERP and Business Intelligence solutions across telecom, FMCG, healthcare, retail and insurance.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in the actual day-to-day of the teams I work with. I'm at my best when the work blends process design, the right technology choice, and the patience to train people until the new system feels obvious.
