Bio
Ben Thompson
I worked with Brooke on the PSD2 Programme for Barclaycard. Brooke is a highly skilled and intelligent BA, and a strong leader who brought the team together quickly and efficiently. Brooke offered support and guidance whenever it was needed, but gave the team room to made their own decisions and support their respective product owners. Brooke was always there to fight our corner and I would recommend Brooke to anyone looking to expand their team with a senior or lead Business Analyst. Brooke would be an asset to any organisation!
Simon Ingram-Hawkes
When it comes to Business Analysts, Brooke is one of the best in the business. Not only does she display the core competencies of being able to deliver clear and concise requirements in an ever changing environment, she also displays a level of humility that is all to often nowadays lacking. She is able to work across multiple disciplines and delivery methodologies from waterfall to agile and scaled agile and is able to work with ambiguity, fast paced change and stakeholder inconsistency. I have had the pleasure to work with Brooke on several projects and you always know that you are going to receive a high standard of work that will make it a lot easier to come up with long term viable solutions, not just MVP and Tech Debt.
