Executive profile

Business transformation leader with fourteen years across enterprise software, fintech, mobility and commerce. I work across business position, customer experience, operations and technology — establishing which of them is constraining growth, then leading the change through to delivery rather than handing over a recommendation. Verified outcomes include reducing an EV delivery cycle from seven weeks to three, a 50% reduction; a 40% increase in product engagement; and contributions to 66% growth in daily logins and 55% growth in sales.
