I joined UAL over 2 years ago, and was involved in the rollout and embedding of a suite of benefits management tools, and supported the updating of our governance framework to emphasise a benefits/value led approach. Prior to UAL, I worked in a number of large retailers setting up and running their PMOs, covering everything from governance and prioritisation, to monitoring, assuring and reporting on a variety of programmes and projects.
