Bio
I have been with Novuna for just over 4 years and work in Group IT as a Lead PM, which means I have line manager as well as project delivery responsibilities. I have worked on a number of projects in Novuna, including Data Centre Migration, Oracle Upgrades and most recently the project to introduce Orchestra to the change community. As a Lead PM I have responsibilities within the Group IT PM community regarding project management training and development and I am a member of our internal Orchestra Change Forum.
I have over 30 years of IT experience with the majority as a Project Manager. Prior to Novuna I was an IT PM at a large bank and worked on a number of strategic infrastructure projects, leading virtual teams of 50+ of in house, 3rd party resources across multiple locations including offshore. We used a PPM tool as part of our role and I have always felt strongly that they can support the project manager in their ability to deliver successful projects by providing a one stop shop for governance, planning and finances.
Outside of work I am member of a local running club and enjoy the physical as well as mental wellbeing this brings me, we only run at a pace that we can still all chat, until it comes to some of the Yorkshire hills that is! I also fit in walks with my Labrador, who luckily is also my sofa buddy in the evening and has been known to appear on a few Teams calls with her favourite toy… or barking at the post man!
