About Sha-Ied

Senior IT Project and Programme Manager with more than 25 years of professional experience in business transformation, digital change, IT delivery and international programme management.

My background combines senior leadership and transformation roles within Rabobank, global transformation programmes at KPMG International, technology-driven assignments for organisations such as Nuance (Microsoft) and Liberty Global, and entrepreneurial experience through Dare Business Innovation.

I specialise in leading complex transformation and implementation initiatives where business, technology, processes and stakeholders need to come together to achieve successful outcomes. Throughout my career I have delivered projects and programmes involving IT transformation, SAP implementations, data migration, system integration, business process optimisation, governance and organisational change.

At KPMG International, I led global transformation initiatives across more than 30 countries, coordinating governance, stakeholder alignment, delivery teams, vendors, data migration activities and implementation roadmaps. Within Rabobank, I held various management, project and product leadership roles focusing on digital transformation, lending platforms, process improvement and business innovation.

I have extensive experience working with executive stakeholders, multidisciplinary delivery teams, Agile environments and international organisations. My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, enabling me to create structure, drive progress and deliver measurable results in complex environments.

What makes me unique is the combination of corporate leadership, international programme delivery and entrepreneurship. I am comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels, translating business objectives into practical solutions and helping organisations successfully navigate change.
