ABOUT LORNA ORMISTON CMGR
Senior leader with deep expertise in delivery, transformation and governance across regulated and public‑value sectors. I have established and led PMOs overseeing portfolios of up to 300 projects, directed delivery teams of more than 300 FTE, and delivered complex UK and international programmes with budgets reaching £xxbn. My experience spans mergers and acquisitions, major digital programmes, capital projects and enterprise‑wide transformation.Alongside my executive delivery leadership, I bring strong board‑facing experience. I have regularly provided assurance to executive committees and audit committees, strengthened governance frameworks, and restored delivery confidence in high‑risk environments. My approach combines analytical rigour, strategic thinking and calm, evidence‑based judgement — qualities that translate directly into effective non‑executive oversight.Formally qualified in PRINCE2, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Agile Delivery and holding a Level 7 qualification in Strategic Management and Leadership, I have a proven track record of resolving executive‑level issues, improving organisational performance and ensuring alignment between delivery outcomes and strategic objectives. I am also a committed coach who builds capability, fosters inclusive cultures and promotes real‑time feedback and professional development.I am now exploring opportunities to contribute my governance, delivery assurance and transformation expertise in a Non‑Executive Director capacity, particularly within organisations that serve Scotland’s communities and public services. I bring a strong commitment to accountability, transparency and effective stewardship, and I am motivated by roles where I can support long‑term value and organisational resilience.
