Programme Management
Exceptional programme management aligns strategic initiatives with organisational objectives, delivering a clear vision for success while maintaining transparent communication with stakeholders. It proactively mitigates risks, optimises resource allocation, and fosters innovation through continuous improvement. By building collaborative, high-performing teams and embedding measurable KPIs, programme managers drive sustainable value and long-term organisational impact.
Experience
Lloyds International – Treasury Systems Risk Reduction (2013)
Led the first formal programme in my career to reduce operational risk across the Treasury systems landscape. Structured into two IT projects:
- Decoupled a tightly integrated home-grown Risk system from Sungard Quantum using standard interfaces.
- Re-implemented Quantum on high-availability infrastructure with the latest fully supported OS.
Despite absent technical documentation, reset scope expectations early to protect delivery timelines. When organisational priorities shifted due to UK Government ownership, conducted an orderly programme closure, preserving stakeholder trust and avoiding sunk costs.
easyJet – Enterprise Integration Programme
Directed the transformation from point-to-point integrations to a plug-and-play application ecosystem. Delivered through four parallel initiatives:
- Evaluated and selected Red Hat JBoss middleware via RFP.
- Established an outsourced integration competency centre with TATA.
- Deployed cloud infrastructure to host the new platform.
- Created a prioritised roadmap aligned with the project pipeline for gradual migration.
Rabobank – Scaled Agile Transformation
Functioned as de facto Release Train Engineer, facilitating PI planning workshops and synchronising multiple agile teams. Introduced Jira and Confluence to enable cross-team visibility, backlog alignment, and incremental delivery — proving scaled agile feasibility in a core banking environment.
Greencross Vets – Harmony Programme
Established the Harmony programme to harmonise finance and supply chain processes on enterprise software. Delivered in two phases:
- Created comprehensive knowledge assets of the existing Navision ERP landscape.
- Evaluated enterprise options, leading to a cost-effective upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
