WORK HISTORY
Head of Engineering Projects Systems Architect @Leonardo
In my role as the Head of Engineering Projects at Leonardo, I provide strategic direction and guidance to several engineering teams, driving diverse projects that span the organization. A pivotal part of my responsibility includes chairing design reviews for multiple programmes, ensuring the utmost standards in quality and execution. I spearhead new strategic campaigns, taking on dual roles as the System Design Authority and Engineering Manager for significant programme opportunities. In this capacity, I engage closely with users, sponsors, and a wide array of stakeholders to accurately gauge requirements and evaluate innovative solutions. In my tenure as a Systems Architect, I play a central role in designing and facilitating the delivery of both customer-centric and company-funded solutions. I collaborate extensively across departments, leveraging insights to understand system opportunities and determine optimal integration strategies. My role involves meticulously crafting top-tier system requirements, ensuring they were not only based on user needs but also consider other crucial factors like budget and time constraints, whilst being tailored for operational efficiency. A key part of my responsibility is performing rigorous cost-benefit analyses. This ensures that our solution requirements optimally leveraged a mix of manual processes, software, and hardware functions. In doing so, I consistently prioritise the use of commercial off-the-shelf products and pre-existing components to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
