Senior Project Manager / Product Owner
I'm a certified Scrum Product Owner and Prince2 Senior Project Manager with a successful five-year history in owning the delivery of digital products within e-commerce, FMCG, web content, and other digital assets for high-profile clients 🧑🏻💻. I bring a unique combination of agile scrum and waterfall methodologies, as well as hands-on market research experience and competitor analysis to develop and deliver impactful products. 🚀
My academic background includes diverse studies in languages and business modules 🗺️, providing me with a global perspective and strong strategic thinking skills. My professional background involves directing complex multi-market projects valued up to £2m 💰, leading cross-functional global teams 🌏 of web editors, SEO engineers, consultants, localisation specialists, and technical product managers to deliver high-quality products to new markets across EMEA, APAC, USA and LATAM.
I've actively pursued professional development, earning certifications such as Scrum Alliance's Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO®), UDEMY’s Product Management, AXELOS's PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner Certification in Project Management, and currently learning Google's UX Design Certification. 📚📃
I am currently seeking my next role, ideally in product management, product ownership, or project management in tech with immediate availability!
