Strategic Change and Project Leadership
Managing a complex change or project can be challenging, especially when juggling competing priorities and diverse stakeholders. I help bring clarity and structure to the process, breaking down the work into manageable steps while keeping everything aligned with your goals. My role is to provide support where it’s needed most, ensuring the project stays on track without adding unnecessary burden to your team.
As an external consultant, I bring a fresh perspective and a neutral stance, which can be especially valuable in identifying risks or resolving challenges early. By stepping in to provide focused support, I help your organization navigate complexity more effectively, increasing the likelihood of a smooth and successful outcome.
Benefits
Navigating complex changes or projects can overwhelm internal teams, especially when faced with competing priorities and diverse stakeholder needs. An external consultant can bring much-needed clarity and structure, breaking down work into manageable, actionable steps while keeping everything aligned with the organization’s goals. By focusing support where it’s needed most, they ensure progress stays on track without adding unnecessary strain to existing teams, allowing them to maintain productivity and focus on core responsibilities.
An external interim leader or consultant can be really useful when things get complex. They bring a fresh set of eyes and aren’t tied to any internal politics, which means they can spot risks, flag challenges, and suggest different solutions.
With experience across different teams and industries, they know how to hit the ground running, uncover opportunities, and shake up old assumptions when needed.

Relevant experience
Leading complex IT projects requires collaboration and leadership, and I have been fortunate to contribute to major transitions that have reshaped organizations and their technical landscapes.
