Overview 

Charlie Hirst is the person you call when the programme is important, the deadline is immovable and everyone agrees this is not the moment to “learn as we go.” 

With 15+ years of experience, Charlie leads complex transformation programmes and platform migrations. He’s particularly effective in environments where things are already moving fast or have recently developed “a bit of character.” 

Leadership Impact 

Charlie leads high-stakes, enterprise-scale programmes, often spanning multiple vendors, geographies and opinions, sometimes all in the same meeting. 

Expertise 

AI and data programmes, SaaS and platform migrations, digital transformation, programme recovery and fractional or interim leadership. 

Community 

Charlie has delivered programmes for organisations including Nationwide, Miral, Collinson Group, ebookers, Kuoni and Trinity Mirror. 

These are environments where delivery is visible, expectations are high and “we’ll fix it later” is not considered a strategy. 

What He Brings 

Calm, decisive delivery leadership that brings structure to complexity and earns stakeholder trust quickly.  

Leadership Perspective 

“Strong delivery starts with clarity on outcomes, ownership and what really needs to change.”
