Skills & Expertise

My professional skill set and areas of expertise

Digital Transformation & Automation

With over a decade of experience in digital consulting and solution design, I specialise in implementing automation strategies that streamline business processes and drive measurable results. I’ve led automation assessments and deployments across finance, retail, and public sector clients, utilising technologies like UiPath, Blue Prism, and Microsoft Power Platform. My work has consistently delivered ROI through operational efficiency, reduced manual effort, and accelerated service delivery.

Operational Leadership & Business Scaling

As Head of Operations and Change at Robiquity, I led international market expansions into the US and Egypt, restructured operations, and managed cross-border teams. I was responsible for HR, compliance, P&L ownership, and the implementation of KPIs that ensured consistent global performance. I’ve driven cultural change and cross-functional collaboration in high-growth, high-complexity environments.

Data-Driven Process Optimisation

My leadership approach is grounded in data. Whether defining CRM KPIs in sales roles or operational SLAs in delivery organisations, I’ve used data to reduce inefficiency, improve decision-making, and guide change. From performance management frameworks to ISO-driven process standardisation, I bring structured thinking and measurable accountability to every project.

Information Security & Compliance

I have led and maintained certifications in ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and Cyber Essentials Plus, acting as Global ISMS Manager. My work in compliance spans internal policies, data security, and risk mitigation, ensuring clients and organisations can scale securely and meet regulatory obligations across regions.

Commercial Strategy & Revenue Growth

As an Account Executive at Ciptex, I transitioned into a sales leadership role, owning pipeline strategy, deal structuring, and customer acquisition processes. I’ve aligned CRM tools with business objectives, optimised sales cycles with automation, and worked across engineering, product, and finance to translate customer needs into scalable solutions. My commercial acumen bridges strategy and delivery.

Global Market Expansion

I’ve led internationalisation initiatives, launching new operational hubs and sales strategies across the UK, US, and MENA regions. My cross-border leadership includes localisation of services, legal/regulatory adaptation, and building distributed teams with shared accountability frameworks.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

My career has consistently required alignment between technology, operations, and commercial teams. From agile software development to post-merger integration and change management, I facilitate shared ownership of business outcomes across departments and cultures.

Customer & User Experience Design

At Curium, I led UX research and workshops to improve product design, and co-created digital products used across client organisations. I’ve implemented customer feedback loops, run training programmes, and built user-first experiences with high satisfaction scores and 100% product availability.

Media, Web & Technical Communication

I have a strong foundation in front-end development (e.g. at The Co-operative Group), media production, and internal communications. I’ve created graphics, videos, onboarding portals, and presentations that support internal operations and external sales, blending technical content with narrative clarity.
