Acerca de Daniel
Senior Programme Manager and Technical Delivery Leader with 20 years across government, SaaS and managed services. Brings the ability to lead complex programmes and technical teams calmly and methodically, keeping multiple workstreams, vendors and stakeholders aligned without losing pace. Empathetic but direct in management style: people perform better under clear expectations and genuine investment, and this approach has consistently turned around teams that were struggling. A strong proponent of Agile, applied in a hybrid fashion where pure methodology rarely fits the reality on the ground. Straightforward and trusted at every level, from daily standups to Director-level escalations, and comfortable taking full ownership of an organisation’s most critical deliveries.
