  Managed the team providing oversight of the multi-million investment in strategic change portfolio (over 100+ programmes annually). My key responsibility was to develop the central PMO services and implement the new project control and governance model. In May 2018, Barclays announced exit of Lithuania. I’ve led my team to complete building of the new services, while working though highly turbulent time. - Performed day-to-day management of PMO team of 6 members in Lithuania, including team development and succession planning, and PMO service continuity management. Performed every-day oversight of delivery of wide range of PMO services, managed resolution of problem escalations. - Developed a central PMO service catalogue for Barclays UK (BUK) to leverage the benefits of BUK-wide PMO service centre and homogenised governance practices for easier daily management of the new business unit. I fine-tuned the proposed solutions with a wide-range of local and global stakeholders at all levels of BUK to verify the proposal and achieve optimum business benefits globally. - Implemented changes to Barclays UK governance processes for project/programme management. I identified adjustments needed to existing processes, tools, outputs and internal customer support, planned and coordinated communications and implementation. - Expanded PMO services from one to eight portfolios (scaling from 60 to 100+ programmes). Introduction of uniform processes greatly enhanced data consistency, reliability and comparability, improving central management of the new organisational structure. - Managed full transition of PMO services from Lithuania to India. I planned and managed full training and transfer of in-depth knowledge to an entirely new team in India. As a result, the team in India was able to take over the full ownership and management of the PMO services. Show less
