Having spent over 15 years in various project leadership roles I have experience across multi-sector and multi-industry delivery services in successful large and small scale project execution. Using my background as an Allied health professional, years working across management consulting (including at PwC) and passion for making things better, I am known for seeing the big picture and small details and delivering high quality tangibly useful outcomes.
"Rowena provided consultancy services for our Trust and provided input & a framework for our strategy session earlier this year. The framework helped the meeting stay on track and trustees focusing on the right areas. It was a very productive meeting with great outcomes. Thoroughly recommend Rowena's services and the value she can add to any organisation!"
