Subsequently promoted, I jumped at the chance to move to London to take ownership of HRIS systems within the EMEA region as a Senior Technical Manager, before ultimately taking a dual role, responsible for Data Privacy and GDPR compliance across HR and Finance divisions, in 2017. I led a series of strategic programmes to ensure regulatory compliance with GDPR standards across HR, boosted stakeholder engagement to facilitate a smoother global rollout of business-critical initiatives, and actively promoted a culture of belonging and engagement with the championing of women in technology.In my last role, as IT Director for the UK Insurtech Portfolio of applications, responsible for all change delivery and day-to-day management of applications, I have direct responsibility for a total budget of $20M and a team of 150.
