About

As a digital project manager at Stratis, I lead websites, intranets and mobile apps for a portfolio of local authorities and companies.

My background is unusual: before moving into digital, I worked for the United Nations (UNHCR, UNOPS) in external relations and communications. There I learned to bring together very different stakeholders — governments, NGOs, donors — and to drive high-stakes projects.

I am now looking for a role that combines strategic consulting, team coordination and change management.

Consulting & strategy

Audits, benchmarking, market watch and multichannel digital strategies.

Project management

Priorities, scheduling, budget, KPIs and team management.

Cross-team coordination

Bridging sales, technical architecture and engineering.

Content & SEO

Copywriting, editorial and technical optimisation, email campaigns.
