**Book a 30-minute discovery call.**
I'll analyse your current delivery system, identify the top 3 bottlenecks, and provide a custom action plan — whether we work together or not.
My commitment: If I can't add immediate value, I'll tell you. If I can, I'll show you exactly how.
I turn chaotic delivery systems into predictable, high-performing flows for software and data teams at scale.
Senior Delivery Leader at BBC | Accredited Kanban Trainer | 10+ years optimising engineering delivery across tech, public sector & manufacturing
🌏 GLOBAL SERVICE: Open for work across US (EST/PST) and Asia Pacific (APAC) time zones.
💎 What I Deliver
1️⃣ Kanban System Design & Flow Optimisation
• Design custom Kanban systems tailored to your team's workflow

• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks causing delays
• Set up visual management systems for transparency
• Train teams on sustainable flow practices
• Establish feedback loops for continuous improvement
📈 Results Delivered:
• 247% increase in bug resolution throughput at Microsoft — accelerating time-to-market for stable features.
• 27% reduction in cycle time (meaning predictable, shorter delivery lead times) + 35% improvement in user-story throughput — delivering more value, faster
• 85% reduction in pipeline runtimes, freeing 15,000+ engineering hours/year across 9 teams
• Standardised Agile governance and risk management frameworks at BBC Data Operations
2️⃣ Agile Delivery Transformation & Coaching
• Design Scrum/Kanban hybrid systems that work in the real world
• Implement sprint cadences and ceremonies that add value (not theatre)
• Coach Product Owners and Scrum Masters on effective practices
• Build product backlogs and roadmaps aligned to business outcomes
• Facilitate sprint planning, retrospectives, and stakeholder alignment
• Create governance frameworks for scaling Agile across teams
• Train teams on continuous improvement mindsets
My Approach:
I don't do "Agile by the book." I design pragmatic delivery systems that balance process with reality — no unnecessary ceremony, no waste.
3️⃣ Project Management Tool Implementation & Migration
• Configure Jira Cloud, Azure DevOps, Confluence for optimal workflow
• Migrate teams from legacy tools to modern platforms without disruption
• Build automations and integrations (Slack, reporting tools, etc.)
• Design board structures that match how your team actually works
• Create SOPs and documentation for tool adoption
• Onboard teams and ensure stakeholder alignment
4️⃣ Data Platform & Cloud Delivery Leadership
• Lead complex data platform and cloud migration programs

• Drive stakeholder communication and executive reporting

Background:
I currently lead delivery at BBC (Data Operations). Previously led Microsoft's Azure HPC/Supercomputer Programme and managed multi-million dollar (over $25M) programmes for enterprise clients including Rolls-Royce, BP, and JCB. I know how to navigate complexity, politics, and technical constraints.
🎯 Who I Work Best With
• Software/SaaS companies — with 20-200 engineers struggling with unpredictable delivery
• Data platform teams — drowning in dependencies and slow feedback loops
• Engineering leaders — tired of "Agile theatre" and want real flow improvements
• Scale-ups — transitioning from startup chaos to sustainable delivery systems
• Cloud/DevOps teams — needing performance optimization and CI/CD improvements

“It was the perfect product.”
Sleek branding. A premium offer. A smart, experienced team behind it. Yet week after week… nothing moved. No delivery deadlines hit, tasks got lost in Slack threads, and frustration built. Not because the offer wasn’t good—but because no one was truly running the show.
There was no workflow. No clear ownership. No real-time tracking. No structure. No coordination between departments. And worst of all? No plan to fix it.
That’s where I come in.
