Bridging business & technology

I'm a consultant currently working with Avanade / Accenture, specialising in Business Analysis, Product Ownership, and Delivery Leadership. I work across discovery, stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, backlog ownership, delivery planning, and implementation readiness - helping bridge the gap between business needs and technical delivery.

My background as a former .NET Developer and Development Team Lead gives me the ability to work comfortably with both business stakeholders and engineering teams. I enjoy bringing structure to complex problems, aligning teams around clear outcomes, and helping organisations move from ambiguity to delivery.

“My focus is always on outcomes: delivering value, reducing ambiguity, and helping organisations succeed.”
