I am a freelance project management professional with significant experience and a proven track record in delivering business transformation and change projects, including system implementations, culture change, and process-led improvement projects. I am a strategic thinker with a decisive, people orientated leadership style who is able to make order from chaos and derive effective solutions to business issues. I am passionate about delivering positive outcomes for my clients and I achieve this by developing and maintaining productive working relationships with all stakeholders while ensuring that effective governance and accountability principles are applied. I believe that key to the success of any project is business sponsor commitment, the clear definition of outcomes, a clear understanding of roles and accountabilities amongst all stakeholders, an open and transparent approach to communication along with the application of best practice risk, issue, deliverable and benefit management practices. In my experience most issues that impact project performance can be traced back to gaps in these basic project building blocks. I am experienced in taking on "broken" projects, stepping-in to pick up projects mid-stream or initiating projects from scratch. Definitely a people person - I bring out the best in others. Exposure to multiple industry sectors including Advertising and Media, Airline, Investment Banking, Local Government, Manufacturing, Retail, Utilities and Tertiary Education.
