Bio

Marie and I worked together on the DfE projects for the National Careers Service. Marie has an amazing positive energy that has driven the team through many successful releases. She also has a great sense of humour and has kept a smile on our faces through many meetings. She has managed the project stakeholders with great professionalism and skill. Additionally, you can always rely upon Marie to manage blockers and dependencies effectively. She has been absolute pleasure to work with and I hope to work again with her in the future!
Gurpreet Sehmi
Marie has a brilliant way about her. Known as the 'mama bear ' of the team, she has a wonderful way of bringing people together, in some of the most difficult situations. Her facilitation skills as a delivery manager are brilliant; her ability to use various techniques and tools to get to the bottom of a problem or to tease out a pragmatic solution, are wonderful to observe. I'd highly recommend Marie; once you have her, you won't want to let her go!
