Exceptional project delivery" is one of Kerry's key strengths which immediately stands out from our time together within the automotive industry. Kerry's ability to partner both the business and IT functions to drive results was critical to the value she added to the high profile finance/IT project we were both involved in, and ultimately its successful delivery. As the finance contact responsible for delivery within the brand, I relied heavily on Kerry's strong organisation and communication skills to ensure project milestones were achieved within the tight delivery schedule required for the Group. Kerry has a fantastic personal working style, engaging and personable, whilst always keeping her finger on the pulse with every element of a project from conception to delivery.
Kerry is one of those rare external contractors - she takes full ownership and responsibility for the challenge put in front of her. She brings energy, positivity and a cheerful get up and go to work. She presents engagingly and tailors her output to the relative seniority of her audience. I would not hesitate to recommend her to you. If you have a business change issue then contact Kerry - her only challenge is that because she is so good, she tends to be pretty booked up!

I have been fortunate enough to work with Kerry, as we implemented an innovative alternative to purchasing cars with the SEAT automotive brand. Kerry joined the project at a critical and fundamental point, succeeding a previous Project Manager moving to pastures new. Kerry literally hit the ground running, bringing her extensive experience and proven versatility as no challenge can phase her. Kerry is meticulous and competent and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.
Lucy Patterson, Project Manager
Kerry is an extremely astute professional with a multitude of core foundational competencies that are absolutely beneficial for organisations looking to go through a transformation or for those who are looking to complement their transformation with enriched processes or capabilities. Kerry is able to drive and support relevant business change activities with her diverse competencies, which is truly a unique value added and packaged service offering - something that you would normally get by engaging larger consultancy firms. Kerry has also effectively played the role of Product Owner and if you are looking for someone to drive a Product visioning, creation and go-to-market strategy, Kerry has all the required competencies in this area. At a foundational level and as an individual, Kerry is pragmatic, results oriented and a transformational leader who cares about people and the organisation that she is engaging with - a truly valuable asset for any organisation.

I worked with Kerry on a complex and challenging project at VWG. Kerry was very supportive, tenacious, good humoured and excellent with our stakeholders over the lengthy period of the project. Undoubtedly we will be working together again.
Stuart Copeland, Experienced Programme Leader, Stonac Ltd
I had the pleasure of working with Kerry over a number of years at VWG. Throughout that time it never ceased to amaze me the grit and determination she showed to plough through extremely complex business requirements and deliver solutions in an innovative and energetic style. Stakeholder management was key and I always had full confidence in Kerry’s ability to communicate, negotiate and interact at all levels of the business. I look forward to working with Kerry again in the future.
Robert Parker, Brand Controller, Audi UK
Kerry was absolutely instrumental in helping to setup our reporting system at Thurrock. She worked diligently and conscientiously (often at very short notice) and gave some much appreciated credit to the team I work in; right when it mattered the most, to key stakeholders in our project.
Adisha Kariyawasam, Strategic Information Manager, Thurrock Council
I have worked with Kerry and the Akeno team on multiple occasions and would have no hesitation in recommending working with them. Focused on influencing results and making a real difference in business transformation projects, Kerry works hard to deliver lasting change for the better.
