Most people know me as a Project Manager (digital transformation) in the Life Sciences (Pharmaceutical/MedTech) industry, and prior to that, as a financial controller. However, recently I added training delivery to my portfolio, and more specifically, training on a topic that I'm really passionate about: Communication Skills. Why? Because poor communication results in 3 major losses: Time, Money, and Credibility. And that's a disaster for any organization. 

🔶 I work with clients in 3 ways:

1️⃣ As a freelance Project Manager leading large-scale projects.
2️⃣ To deliver workshops/coaching on business communication skills. *Ask me about my Master Class (real-life training for real-life situations and people).
3️⃣ A hire me/fire me approach - hire me to lead a project while working in parallel to train your new team of PM's and leaders on the Power Skills needed for success (and then fire me!).

📣 I’m also an event speaker, conference host, and a panel moderator

🔶 About Me:

🎯13 years leading Digital Transformation initiatives in the Life Sciences (Pharma/MedTech) industry 
🎯 Former financial controller with 20 years' experience (Manufacturing/MedTech/Pharma)

🎯 A passion for training - delivered 40+ workshops to major organizations. 
🎯 Active on the public speaking circuit where I've delivered 500+ speeches and won awards at international level.
🎯 Impeccable standards combined with a 'no nonsense' approach
🎯 Global Citizen/Culturally aware: Lived and worked in UK/US/EU

🔶 Projects Delivered:

🔹ERP (QAD) implementation for 9 medical device manufacturing plants (West Pharmaceutical) including SOX and CSV testing
