Acerca de Will

I lead digital transformation and AI programmes for organisations that need to move fast and get it right. My background spans MedTech ventures, global FMCG, Big 4 consulting, and banking, always at the intersection of technology, operations, and commercial outcomes.

I've built and scaled cross-functional teams across 15 countries, led platform consolidations saving millions, deployed AI-driven workflows that transformed operational capacity, and got stalled regulatory programmes back on track. I'm comfortable presenting to a CIO or rolling up my sleeves with a Scrum team.

Based in Spain, working UK hours for UK clients as an outside IR35 contractor. Open to remote programme management and transformation lead contracts.
