I led the technology function through a significant transformation, modernising systems and processes that had been holding the business back. Working collaboratively with the heads of each department, I reported to the COO and CEO while maintaining a partnership approach rather than a top-down one.

I helped shift the team from reactive to proactive by streamlining access controls and tightening system configurations, reducing support overhead and allowing the team to focus on higher-value work. In parallel, I contributed to strengthening compliance practices to better support the demands of a growing healthcare startup.
