The partner was further accountable for defining and delivering the new Target Operating Model for product management, engineering & architecture, development and testing.
- Engaged with a large financial institute to analyse and define the ISO 20022 Payments Messaging system to identify and mitigate challenges in the organisation leading to the engagement of critical resources and the redefined approach to agile.
- Defined and built the banks cloud solution with 3rd party consultants. This included redeveloping the cloud strategy, building the AWS cloud platform and delivering the PSD2 solution on the cloud platforms (to meet regularity requirements) whilst introducing an innovative delivery approach (Agile and DevOps) and building the ops support teams for the cloud.
- Built the onshore and offshore capability delivering cloud-based solutions and development for a PE funded start-up in the UK growing the company to 35 consultants.
- Undertook the merger & acquisition of a large global services organisation (46,000 globally) which included the migration of all finance, HR, procurement and assets with the “best-of-breed” approach. Further developed a European consultancy practice, growing the portfolio to $125m (was $85m) and a team of 1,200 people globally. Further built a new target operating model and introduced centres of excellence whilst growing the practice and reducing the dependence on contingent staff.
