About Mujeeb

Senior Programme Manager and Transformation Lead with 17 years of experience across insurance, engineering, telecoms and SaaS. Primarily operated as a strategic contractor, brought in when delivery has stalled, governance is absent, or operations are scaling faster than their processes can support. I work with startups and enterprises globally, both on-site and remotely.

I have built a group-wide PMO from the ground up, reduced manual reporting effort by 36% through AI-enabled automation, and improved delivery efficiency by 34% through automating manual processes.

WHAT I OFFER:
- End-to-end project management
- End-to-end SaaS implementations and regulated programme delivery
- PMO setup and governance frameworks built from the ground up
- AI agents and automation workflows that eliminate manual operation and reporting overhead
- Agile transformation, and Scrum embedded into delivery without losing control
- Stakeholder alignment across C-suite, investors, commercial teams and technical teams
