Hello, I'm Andrea McNeill.
Hi, I’m Andrea – a strategic delivery leader with 17 years experience managing complex programmes across cybersecurity, data, cloud and transformation. I’ve worked across startups, scale-ups, and enterprise environments, often stepping into high-pressure situations to stabilise delivery, align stakeholders, and get results. Clients value my calm, pragmatic approach, ability to make the complex feel manageable and my knack for translating vision into actionable plans. Whether I’m mentoring teams, leading cross-functional delivery, or rolling up my sleeves to solve thorny problems, I bring clarity, structure, and pace. I’m now focused on new contract opportunities where trust, impact and collaboration matter. If you’re building something ambitious and need a delivery partner who can hit the ground running – let’s talk!
