I ensured timely delivery despite political pressures and achieved significant upskilling results in low and middle income countries. My efforts in stakeholder management and project sustainability have laid the groundwork for continued benefits beyond project lifecycles.I have effectively led various global health projects, achieving notable successes in project management and stakeholder engagement. • Oversaw the GFPEM (Global Fellows of Emergency medicine 0project for five years, delivering on target while reducing the budget by 15% in the final year. • Turned around the DRAD (Diagnostic Radiographers) project, scaling it by 1,500% and saving the NHS in agency fees. • Developed a blueprint for future international exchange programs, enhancing collaboration and knowledge sharing.
