I’ve always been fascinated by science and technology, so with hindsight it’s no surprise I’ve ended up with a BEng Electronic Engineering degree as well as an MSc Accounting & Financial Management degree.
The subject matters were always concepts bigger than I could comprehend at the genesis of the courses, yet I’ve always been driven by a thirst to understand new things. I’ve come to realise and accept that I enjoy increasing my knowledge and shaping the world around me. I applied skills and tools from my degrees into my career, which eventually led me to Atos in the summer of 2022 as Finance & Procurement Manager, within the newly created shared services function for BTS. Coming from a history of structured and robust accounting teams, it was challenging and exciting to be pivotal in shaping a new finance function. A few months into this role, an opportunity was presented via this shared services team, to help deliver an Operational Resilience framework for our client. I took the leap to pivot and I’m now Lead Operational resilience Analyst. I’ve found myself in new territory assisting in delivering a new framework and embedding governance and best practice across the account. Straight into preparing for an annual assessment. This regulatory piece was applauded as our team had made significant progress from the initial set-up.
