Summary

A highly driven and experienced Senior Incident / Operations Manager with a wide range of knowledge at all levels of Service Operations. Using ITIL frameworks to ensure the relationship between Incident, Change and Problem Management is effective. I understand what good Change Management looks like, which allows for Incident and Problem Management to work seamlessly with each other. Able to communicate at C-Suite level to provide confidence to the business, Customers and Colleagues. I lead by example and am always looking to help or assist Colleagues by driving forward process and improvements. The experience I have gathered running both FTSE 100 and Start-Up organisations allows me to make the best decisions for the business.
