I help leaders and teams to future-proof their ways of delivering and managing critical change initiatives in today's fast-paced, high growth and rapidly changing global environments.

I am a transformation strategist, change advisor, and facilitator, helping leaders and teams to effectively plan and execute change and risk strategies by advancing and shifting their project delivery practices to a future-proof model that accounts for the increasing complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty in today’s rapidly changing business environments.

With almost three decades of international experience in technology-driven projects, working with numerous organizations from large corporates to small business practices around the globe, I am well versed in project management best practices and have developed an obsession and passion for the innovation and advancement of project and change management practices.

I have gained substantial experience in the Financial Services domain, having delivered complex change initiatives and programs in large financial institutions. As an independent transformation strategist, coach, and advisor, I run leadership workshops, helping change organizations to optimize and advance their practices toward a future-proof and evidence-driven change delivery model.

My expertise is driving required behavioral and cultural changes to improve project resilience and robustness, adopt a continuous improvement mindset, and transition to a future-proof and evidence-driven project management practice.

My career and experience are supported by an Executive MBA from Henley Business School (UK) as well as professional certifications in Program and Project Management from PMI (PgMP, PMP, PMI-ACP), APM (PRINCE2, MSP) and Stanford University (SCPM).
