About Chris Andrews

I am an adaptive and dynamic Head of PMO / Programme Manager with a proven track record of delivering business-critical objectives in Governance, Change Management, and Delivery. I thrive in highly regulated, dynamic environments, swiftly integrating problem statements and sponsor priorities to deploy governance models that surpass business demands. I excel in challenging assumptions, crystallizing strategic objectives, and unifying stakeholders to achieve consensus and ensure success, championing a value-based approach to future-proof initiatives, and fostering a positive working environment and continuous learning culture. I bring extensive expertise in business and technology transformation, programme leadership and delivery, and strategic programme and project management. At Barclays Global Compliance, I spearheaded a high-profile, global Senior Managers Regime (SMR) regulatory programme. Managing over 100 resources across multiple jurisdictions, I created and deployed a best-in-class governance model, which was upheld as a benchmark by regulators. My leadership ensured that the programme met its tight deadline and internal compliance standards.I defined the governance model for a monumental £multi-billion portfolio in response to COVID-19 for the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC). This involved managing 55k resources, 40+ partners, and multiple government agencies. I implemented a gold-standard governance framework, facilitated weekly Oversight Board forums, and delivered critical reporting to the Cabinet Office and ExCo, ensuring effective decision-making and risk management on an unprecedented scale.A collaborative, solution-focused leader, I translate and harmonise current state and future requirements into compelling narratives that galvanise and influence C-Suite stakeholders, securing buy-in for change. I lead with authentic passion to motivate and inspire multi-disciplinary, geographically dispersed teams to work to the best of their abilities, and to maintain that dedication and professionalism throughout the duration of a programme, project, or task.
