WORK HISTORY
Global Innovation Lead @BMT
Bristol, GB
I was selected to develop, integrate, scale and then lead an innovative software and product development team, firstly within the UK business and more recently, across BMT globally. Being a traditional engineering consultancy, I had to carefully manage the design and implementation of the new framework to work harmoniously with existing business processes and cultures, while influencing the wider business of the opportunities that innovation and product development offers. Integration required considerable work with internal business areas, to align processes, while maintaining engagement with external customers to ensure we continually deliver valuable products.Having successfully integrated the framework into the global business, I continue to manage the programme as the technical and business lead for all innovation projects. I currently manage a portfolio of around 10 software and synthetic environment projects which are at various stages of technical and market maturities. My responsibilities endure through the life of a product, from initial opportunity identification and capability roadmapping, through to final delivery and in-service support. To facilitate this I have the ability to understand a customer needs and to translate these into a technical delivery plan. The development process requires that I maintain technical oversight of our internal multi-disciplinary teams, providing technical leadership throughout the lifecycle.
