ABOUT GEMMA MCKAY

I\'m an empathetic leader, tech translator and a creative problem solver, passionate about working collaboratively, with people, tech and data to address real world problems. As a seasoned technical professional, software product and integrations consultant and data specialist, I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution. My signature strength is fluent translation between teams - bridging jargon gaps, aligning product development to strategy, and ensuring seamless collaboration. From machine learning and data analytics products to software products and systems integrations, I\'m experienced in delivering value. With a track record of fostering strong client and team relationships, and of demystifying the technical, I\'m a trusted detail-focused collaborator. Things colleagues say I bring to a role: Creative solutions and new opportunities - finding new ways to do things and seeing new opportunities in the chaos is kinda my thing! Enthusiasm and positive attitude - Yep, I\'m the chirpy one in morning meetings! An empathetic leadership style and a strong sense of \'Team\'- inclusivity and creating a space where we can foster supportive and authentic working relationships is something I care deeply about- both internally and with clients A clear and effective style of communicating the technical to the non technical (and vice versa!) I’m a big believer in making things accessible and easy to understand! My experience spans a range of industries, from e-commerce and logistics, to education and healthcare, mostly in agile development environments, reporting to C-level for core development of product, strategy and delivery.
