I started the Major Projects team in Academia to add Project, Contract and Bid Management capacity to the company. The Major Projects team will be a fundamental part of Academia's growth as we capitalise on our expertise across a wide range of business sectors and continually bring new products and solutions to market.I'm responsible for developing and refining internal workflows, building standardised processes, training, and continually building and developing our capacity to manage projects of all sizes. My team also manages the processes of bids and complex sales proposals, formulates and updates contracts, and is the point of expertise for projects of all descriptions, both internal and external.

I work in EE's Bid Management team, responding to Academy and Free School tenders for the design and provision of IT solutions into new and refurbished buildings. I work with a close knit team of Project Managers, Solution Architects and Suppliers to develop custom ICT solutions to suit client needs.

Once the bid is won, I remain responsible for client liaison alongside our project management and solution delivery team, handling the commercial aspects of detailed design all the way through to final sign off.

I oversaw and signed off all aspects of the ICT component of bids, and was directly involved in customer engagement, solution overview, contract and legal advice and financial modelling.
