With over 15 years of experience in operations and project management, business change and transformation, I have honed my expertise in optimising operations. I am the Founder of Optimo, a business improvement firm that aims to promote positive change by supporting organisations that make a genuine difference in the world, and an Associate Consultant for Changing Streams, bringing my expertise to the specific challenges around sustainability and regeneration in construction and the built environment.
My passion lies in connecting with people and understanding what they need, enabling me to identify improvement opportunities, solve problems, and create structure amidst chaos. I am skilled in building relationships, understanding businesses, and getting things done. I believe that for businesses and organisations to have an impact, they need to get rid of the day-to-day operational headaches, and that’s exactly what I help with.
I bring experience and lessons from a variety of other industries including healthcare, financial services, higher education and waste management and projects I’ve worked on in the past have included people development and team productivity, process implementation and improvement, technology development and information management.
I’m delighted to be transferring my knowledge and skills into the fantastic work being done by Changing Streams with the aim of helping to make very practical change happen in this space.
