ABOUT CHRIS MATENTZOGLOU
I\'m a Senior Project Manager and Programme Manager with 20+ years of experience in various IT roles, delivering complex technology programmes across Financial Services, Government, Insurance, Banking, Asset Management, Airlines, and digital environments. My background spans cloud infrastructure, datacentre migrations, DevOps-aligned delivery, mobile and web product development, data migration programmes, and large-scale transformation — blending Agile, Waterfall, and DevOps practices to ensure predictable execution, strong governance, and continuous improvement. I\'ve led complex infrastructure builds, cross-connectivity, structured cabling, power redundancy, disaster recovery, and multi-vendor datacentre programmes, including high-value colocation and platform refresh initiatives. Alongside infrastructure delivery, I\'ve partnered with engineering, UX, and product teams to drive roadmap execution, feature delivery, and customer-centric digital experiences — as well as managing data migration programmes including Databricks-based pipelines and cloud data platform transitions. I\'m comfortable in customer-facing, commercially driven environments — shaping presales engagements, defining scope, and producing clear, commercially aligned SOWs. Known for bridging technical and business teams, managing risk, and delivering complex programmes end-to-end. Alongside my career, I founded Clearpath Advisory — a Project Management as a Service consultancy that provides flexible, fractional project leadership to organizations across a wide range of industries. Through Clearpath Advisory I offer: Fractional PM Leadership — senior delivery leadership without the full-time cost Agile Transformation & Ways of Working — building delivery culture that sticks PMO Setup & Delivery Frameworks — bringing structure and rigour from scratch Project Rescue — getting stalled or troubled projects back on track Presales & RFP Support — helping tech companies win bids with a credible delivery story Team Coaching & Training — upskilling PMs and delivery teams Whether you\'re looking for a senior PM for your team or a delivery partner for your business — let\'s talk.
