Bio: 

I have been working in project and programme management since 1999. During this time I have balanced numerous elements of digital services - from technical architecture & business analysis through to project and programme management - and am skilled at engaging cross-functional stakeholders to deliver successful projects.

In this time I have also been fortunate to work with some great companies, across retail, pharmaceuticals, publishing, central government and entertainment. I have managed marketing campaigns, training curriculums, and digital projects on proprietary and Open Source systems and participate in regular networking events to promote the use of Digital to achieve overall business objectives.

In my new role at IPC, I'm extremely excited to be working on the evolution of the Digital offering. IPC have a strong focus on Drupal and Open Source technologies, areas which I have a high personal interest in, and I'm particularly interested how they deliver projects within a Lean development culture.
