I am a strategically focused Enterprise Architect with a proven ability to take a strategy through all stages, from definition to implementation, with a strong emphasis on achieving business outcomes and benefits.My unique ability is to work in both breadth and depth across all aspects of IT, providing thought leadership to both business and technical teams in order to transform, improve efficiency and align with business goals.Over the past decade, I have led an architecture team to transform an organisation from an undocumented, underperforming, fragmented legacy landscape into a modern, integrated, efficient environment that is business and cost focused and supports company strategy with digital ways of working. The key to my success has been my focus on business requirements, not just technology, delivering people-centred outcomes that enhance the user experience, improves agility and reduces complexity.My key skills include:Enterprise architecture modelling covering business, application, data and technology architectures.Mentoring, coaching and leading high performing architecture teams.Strategy definition, business case development, analysis and design at an enterprise level and a detailed level.Collaborating beyond organisational boundaries, ensuring that solutions are considered holistically.Effective communication skills for bridging between business and technology communities.Defining reference architectures, target architectures and solutions that transform while balancing cost, priorities, business requirements and technical requirements.Defining strategic architecture principles and best practices that promote quality and mitigate risk.Thought leadership on innovation, technology trends and their impact on organisations and how to adopt them.
