• I led an awesome team of Product Leads, Developers, Testers and UX and Visual Designers to take the Sky Kids App from conception to market in just 8 months, through a collaborative and agile approach to product.
• Designed a strategic, prioritised backlog of features for the Sky Kids app that delivered on both business and user priorities.
• Owned the Product Backlog across both the iOS and Android scrum teams (and later three Feature teams)
• Prioritised stories to maintain the delicate balance between new features and sparkles of magical design, managing tech debt and still having a MVP at the end of each sprint.
• Pioneered agile development practices for Sky, resulting in other products adopting this approach
• Managed four Product Leads and led the wider team, which comprised of 26 people both from Sky and our fantastic partner agency, Ustwo, across two sites and including remote workers.

Personally responsible for £2m of technology orders. Client groups included sponsors, sport federations, service suppliers and the IOC (~100 clients). Ensured that these stakeholders ordered the appropriate telecommunications, audio visual and radio services needed for their Games time operations and managed delivery of these products. Bridged the gap.

I successfully negotiated a national contract for track replacement work, which had a value of ~£200m p.a. and delivered significant cost savings as well as increased cost surety. My role was to model the prices and to be a key negotiator in face to face meetings with the Commercial Directors from each of the contractor companies. As one of the direct.

I was involved in a range of projects across the business, such as designing the company-wide Transformation Programme, benchmarking performance for the Maintenance function, co-ordinating the company's in-sourcing strategy, analysing the costs of track replacement and carrying out a cost-benefit analysis of the changes to Maintenance staff Ts and Cs.

I determined the requirement specifications for equity derivatives systems and project managed the implementation of a new global application.
