Introducing our Rising Stars winners in the Sports category for 2016
Amber Rosier
After six years of working with NGO’s to advance human rights, I joined Accenture in 2015. Since then, I have worked with senior government officials across several departments to drive forward our clients’ transformation agendas.
Currently, I am leading the UK government’s first implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework; a radical delivery lifecycle redesign which will transform the operational model of a 180 person programme.
Alongside my primary role, I am also defining the requirements to re-engineer a government system which raises £34bn in revenue for the Exchequer. I love the challenges that consulting brings, and am dedicated to driving innovation throughout our client’s business.
Beyond my core client role, I am proud to champion the agenda for women and inclusion and diversity in the workplace; steering mentoring schemes to proactively develop opportunities for my colleagues across the company, and leading the Accent on Enablement team in Health & Public Service. Outside of Accenture, I continue to support the child rights NGO I founded as an active Trustee.
