Hello, I'm

Lee Ball

Head of Delivery & Director — bonding teams with AI to drive global business outcomes.

Lee Ball

Connecting people, product & outcomes

I'm a cross-functional leader who bonds Delivery, Product, Commercial and Customer teams with AI to deliver real business outcomes. I'm accountable for customer deliveries supporting half of £65m in global revenue, and I've built and led international teams across fintech and infosec in the UK, Singapore, and Sweden.

My career has taken me from hands-on technical consultancy at BAE Systems through to building new regional operations from scratch and leading director-level portfolio governance. I thrive in complex, politically nuanced environments where pragmatic process and genuine collaboration are the difference between good and great.
