Bio
Stewart Adamson
Maria is a high quality project manager who leads from the front. She is naturally collaborative and seeks out views of all stakeholders before building ambitious yet achievable plans that meet the needs of the business and end user alike. Every dealing I had with Maria underlined her organisational skills and her risk-centric approach which is a trait all good project managers have. I was genuinely disappointed to see such a skilled and hard working resource move to pastures new but, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to any prospective employer.
