Paul in a few words
I provide project & programme delivery, project assurance and governance services, mainly to professional services firms, specialising in technology-enabled change initiatives.
With 15 years of building and leading a successful project management consultancy, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen to every engagement. My focus is on delivering successful outcomes in technology transformation projects, particularly in ERP implementations, document management, and process automation.
My approach combines pragmatic solutions with robust governance frameworks, helping organisations navigate change while maintaining operational effectiveness. I bridge the gap between technical delivery and business strategy. My clients value my ability to work collaboratively across all organisational levels, from board-level stakeholders to front-line staff, ensuring alignment and buy-in throughout the project lifecycle.
I operate as an independent consultant because I believe in personal accountability and direct engagement – when you work with me, you get exactly what you see: hands-on expertise, professional integrity, and a commitment to project success.
