Sarah Churches

I am an IT Delivery Manager with 20 years of experience in Operations and Project Delivery. I've worked in the UK, the Netherlands, and Australia across a broad cross-section of cultures and industries, most notably Energy, Banking, and Public sectors. I’ve managed a banking transaction application executing $USD100B on a monthly basis, an Agile BI platform for short-term POCs, once-off data analytics, and several enterprise middleware/integration platforms. I excel at building strong relationships with my clients to become a "trusted partner". I focus on the business outcome to drive the technology. I manage stakeholders at all levels of an organisation to achieve consistent delivery and messages. With an adaptable personality, I thrive on challenges, seeking continual improvements and creating a space for the generation of new ideas. I aim to inspire my team through both a shared vision and understanding of each member’s individual strengths allowing them to deliver quality services, on time and within SLA, and gaining their ‘discretionary’ effort to get it done when necessary.
