ABOUT RICHARD FORD
I’m an innovative and customer focused leader with a demonstrated track record of successfully leading large scale multi-million pound agile programmes. I pride myself on a positive, calm and enthusiastic approach to stakeholder management in complex and high-pressure environments. I have a strong technical grounding in mico-services architecture, cross functional feature development, and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery approaches.A career highlight was leading the ‘Slot Booking’ team at Waitrose through the first national lockdown in March 2020 - where my iterative approach to delivery, and calmness under high pressure, was a key contributor to successfully opening up slot booking to vulnerable customers after 10 days of slot booking being closed. An additional highlight was being invited to present a paper on ’data migration approaches in agile environments’ at a Data Transformation conference in Vancouver in 2017.
