Niresh is a professional programme manager within Deloitte’s Operations Consulting practice. Niresh leads the sub-group within Programme Leadership focusing on Energy, Infrastructure and Utilities. 

So, back at Deloitte, can you give some examples of the kind of work you do?

Essentially, I help organisations to derive maximum value from undertaking projects and programmes.  This is through:

• Helping clients to objectively select the most beneficial and strategically aligned projects from a long list of opportunities.
• Providing independent assurance and advice to senior stakeholders to help turn-around a failing programme or identify major problems in advance.
• Helping to shape, design and plan large complex transformations which allow an organisation to achieve objectives in a stable and sustainable way.

What was your best experience whilst working on a LOCOG project?

My best experience was working with the LOCOG team across a number of multi-disciplinary areas who all lived and breathed the ‘Olympic spirit’.  It was truly encouraging to see individuals on a day to day to basis passionate about the Olympics and working effortlessly towards a common grand objective.

What are you working on at the moment?

My recent experience includes:

• Interim Programme Director for a large mining company, providing oversight, advice and assurance over the global portfolio of projects reporting to the Executive Team.
• Portfolio Management Director for a large Middle East Oil Company to design and implement portfolio management process.
• Programme Assurance Advisor for an European Oil Company over their Finance Transformation Programme.
