Enterprise PMO leadership for complex transformation programmes.
I'm Joanne — a PMO Lead establishing, transforming and leading enterprise PMO functions across regulated utilities, infrastructure, telecoms, retail and energy. Trusted by Programme Directors, Executive Sponsors and C-suite stakeholders.
Trusted PMO leadership across regulated transformation.
I establish, transform and lead enterprise PMO functions across large-scale business and technology transformation programmes — within organisations including National Grid, National Highways, UK Power Networks, Sky and Telefónica.
My work spans Portfolio PMO leadership, enterprise governance frameworks, programme assurance, portfolio controls, financial governance, regulatory reporting and strategic delivery oversight across complex Agile, Waterfall and hybrid environments. I'm recognised for building scalable PMO capability, embedding governance best practice and enabling delivery through data-driven insight and stakeholder engagement.
Four pillars of enterprise PMO delivery.
Governance & Assurance
Enterprise governance frameworks, stage gate reviews, project assurance and audit-ready PMO controls across Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery.
Portfolio & Programme Controls
Integrated portfolio plans, milestone tracking, RAID governance, dependency management and Plan-on-a-Page reporting for executive oversight.
Executive Reporting & Insight
Insight-rich dashboards, KPI reporting and steering committee packs that surface trends, dependencies and resource constraints across programmes.
Regulatory & Financial Governance
Ofgem regulatory reporting, CAPEX/OPEX controls, financial governance and commercial assurance within operationally critical environments.
Measurable impact, delivered.
Cut meeting preparation time by 50% and reduced meeting duration from 4 hours to 1.5 hours by redesigning governance processes and enforcing strict submission timelines.
Improved project delivery efficiency by 20–30% through streamlined reporting cycles, risk logs and governance templates adopted across multiple workstreams.
Reduced project delays through proactive RAID management and consistent escalation pathways, strengthening delivery control and stakeholder alignment.

Where governance meets generative AI.
Copilot, ChatGPT and Power BI deployed against the work a PMO actually does — executive reporting, dashboards, RAID, stakeholder communications and strategic planning — without losing the discipline boardrooms rely on.
