My working life started when I dropped out of Strathclyde University in 1991. I’d never wanted to go to University in the first place, but gave it a go to keep my mum happy. I then found myself leaving home and living with family in Weston-Super-Mare. I was really quite at a loss as to what to do with my life. It was a pretty depressing time. Then, out of the blue one day, my dad called me and said he’d seen a job ad in the paper. This was for an MOD apprenticeship in telecommunications. I applied, did the entrance exams and then an interview, and, too my astonishment, was offered an apprenticeship. It was exactly what I needed and my life was put on a much better trajectory as a result. After the apprenticeship I became a Professional Technology Officer (PTO) and was commissioning secure comms networks for the Royal Navy. I then moved into planning and this is where I started to cut my teeth in project management, learning how to create and cost up schedules as well as working with teams on site to oversee the work. After getting married, I moved to the Defence Evaluation & Research Agency, where I deepened my knowledge of programme and project management, but when DERA became QinetiQ, I came to the conclusion that I needed to move on, so I joined EDS Defence and worked for them for 4 years further honing my PM skills.In 2004 I became a father and I decided to become an independent PMO consultant and worked with Atkins in a PMO that they were delivering. It was during this time that I also helped found a software company called Ripjar and my agile experience really helped get the company off the ground working at a pace of delivery that you only really get with a start-up.After about 10 years of advising and helping Project Managers I then found myself getting drawn into data analysis and visualisation and I pursued roles to strengthen and learn more. I ended up in PMO reporting, which I loved. Lots of data modelling, user research, UX design, agile working, etc, and using a variety of data analysis & visualisation tools/tech. Brilliant!In 2018, I started up a new company – TwentyThreeHundred Ltd – where I continued to expand my knowledge in data analysis & visualisation, agile delivery and UX design. Then, in 2022, I left TwentyThreeHundred and joined CMC. CMC was (and still is!) a great company but I needed more/better opportunities to grow. As with most things in life, serendipity intervened, and a chance conversation with a friend put me on to BAE Systems. This is where I am now, and it's looking good so far!
