Description

I help organizations bring order to complex, multi-stakeholder projects from research institutions navigating innovation pipelines to companies scaling operations across teams and geographies. With 7+ years in PMO governance, Agile/Scrum, and PRINCE2-aligned delivery, I step into ambiguity and build the structure that gets things moving: roadmaps, risk logs, stakeholder alignment, and executive reporting that leadership can actually act on.

My background spans technology transfer and innovation management, corporate project delivery for global B2B clients, and research program coordination, so I adapt quickly across industries.

Typical projects I take on: PMO setup and governance frameworks, cross-functional workshop facilitation, project rescue and re-planning, and stakeholder reporting systems. I bring calm, clarity, and follow-through to teams that need it most.
