Interim Project & Program Director

Complex IT Transformation · M&A Carve‑outs · Regulated / GxP

I lead complex transformation programs when the critical path is at risk — because direction is unclear, execution has stalled, or cross-functional dependencies have no owner.

  1. Operations
  2. ERP & delivery
  3. Program & portfolio
  4. M&A and regulated direction

Roles I take on

  • Interim Program Director

    Direction, governance and trade-offs

  • Program Recovery Lead

    Restoring a credible, executable trajectory

  • M&A Separation Lead

    IT carve-outs, TSA exit, Day-1 continuity

  • Regulated Delivery Lead

    GxP platforms with validation and vendors

01When to call me

If one of these sounds familiar, the program needs direction — not more reporting.

  • Critical path slipping

    And the problem isn't project tracking.

  • Dependencies without an owner

    Critical interfaces have no effective owner or decision path.

  • Day-1 at risk

    An M&A separation must protect continuity while reducing TSA dependency.

  • Regulated gridlock

    The transformation is stuck between Business, IT, QA and vendors.

  • Activity without trajectory

    Plenty of work in motion, but no credible, executable plan.

  • Sounds familiar?

03How I work

Three levers, whether directing a program from the start or recovering one in trouble.

  1. 01

    Direction

    Executive alignment, priorities, scope arbitration, governance and decision paths.

  2. 02

    Critical Delivery

    Securing the workstreams and delivery conditions that materially affect the critical path.

  3. 03

    Dependencies

    Resolving ownership, decision and interface issues across Business, IT, vendors and regulated functions.

Lean at the core: decide early, arbitrate scope against value, and keep the flow of work visible.
