About

Over 20 years’ experience across software delivery, business solutions, consulting, and project management in fast-paced environments, with a strong focus on helping global clients navigate complex business and technical challenges. Alongside my professional role, I have a long-standing interest in evidence-based nutrition, behaviour change, and performance. I am Precision Nutrition Level 1 (PN1) certified, which has strengthened my structured, pragmatic approach to building sustainable habits and supporting long-term consistency.
