I am a portfolio and program leader with direct people management responsibility, known for building stable, accountable, and high‑quality teams in complex environments. My leadership style is grounded in situational leadership (S3/S4) and strongly supported by my Predictive Index behavioral profile (Operator). I lead with calm authority, patience, and structure, focusing on consistency, trust, and long‑term results. I am most effective when working closely with people—setting clear direction, supporting autonomy, and ensuring reliable delivery through well‑designed processes. I specialize in: - leading teams and managers within portfolios and programs, - managing expert and cross‑functional teams, - building clear governance, standards, and decision frameworks, - prioritization and execution across multiple initiatives, - developing people through coaching, mentoring, and structured leadership. I make decisions carefully and responsibly, balancing collaboration with accountability. I value stability and clarity, while remaining flexible when change is well‑explained and purpose‑driven. I perform best in roles that: - include direct people leadership, - combine portfolio or program ownership with line management, - require long‑term responsibility and consistency, - value quality, predictability, and sustainable performance through people. I am particularly interested in roles such as Portfolio Lead, Program Director, Head of Portfolio, PMO / Transformation Lead, where leading people is central to success.
