ABOUT GEM EDKINS
An inspiring leader, I pride myself on keeping it real. Over 25 years’ experience leading people, change, transformation, delivery and governance. I get the right stuff done and I get results. A strong focus on cultural/business change, stakeholder experience and coaching people at all levels, either to improve operations, or coaching individuals/teams through periods of significant change. Senior leadership experience across private and public sectors (Financial Services, NHS, Retail and Consumer Goods, Energy and Education). Proven ability to develop strategy, deliver strategic programmes of change aligned to vision and provide robust governance to support delivery of complex change. I am experienced in setting up enterprise portfolios and large programmes from scratch, as well as turning around failing delivery teams and processes. I’ve worked in Agile and Waterfall environments (and in a combination of the two). I’m adaptable and flexible; able to operate both strategically and in the detail by ‘getting stuck in’. My motto - Every day is a school day, and if you do one thing today, be kind.
