I am a highly motivated leader, embody customer centricity in my working values and beliefs and have a real passion for all aspects of change. I strive for success in every aspect of my role; often setting myself stretch targets or challenges outside my comfort zone to drive personal performance and learning. A broad understanding of change management and implementation techniques, coupled with strong influential and interpersonal skills have helped me initiate, implement, manage and track change both departmentally and cross functionally against group wide targets and strategies. I have developed an affinity for working in high pressure situations, often producing my best results in these situations demonstrating a high level of thinking and judgement.I also manage my own property portfolio in excess of £1M which has given me excellent transferable skills across a number of key disciplines in project management. Stakeholder management and communications plans (managing contractors on renovations, 3rd party companies such as letting agencies and customers / tenants) have been crucial, as has strong financial management skills and an ability to use commercial strategies and responses to a fluid market to seize carefully planned expansion opportunities and an ability to react to shifting priorities. Changing market conditions have required me to adapt personal strategy to focus on projects that will add the most value to my portfolio. Taking time after each new project to reflect on successes and weaknesses has helped strengthen my business acumen, project maturity and efficiencies with each iteration. Utilising knowledge gained through qualifications in Prince2 and APMP and employment have supported me in devising responses to political changes in taxation policies; enabling me to mitigate risk, fail fast and take decisive measures that risk losing short term investment and sunk costs but allow protection of future liquidities.
