Highlights from Cel’s PMI Judging Experience

6 consecutive years as a PMI Global Awards judge
Assessed PMOs from a wide range of industries and geographies
Focus areas include PMO maturity, strategic value, innovation, and community impact
Believes sustainability and social contribution are essential components of modern project delivery

Elevating Project Delivery Worldwide

Cel has personally led teams of over 100 people, delivered 7,000+ projects, and embedded best-practice frameworks into large-scale consulting environments. Under her leadership, those projects were completed 100% within budget – a rare feat in the project world.

“It’s not just about doing things right,” she notes. “It’s about doing the right things – for people, organisations, and the planet.”

Sustainability and Community Impact

One of the most meaningful aspects of the Global Awards for Cel is the emphasis on community impact and environmental sustainability. These are not just ‘nice to have’- they’re part of the core criteria for winning.

Cel has reviewed submissions from PMOs that have contributed to reducing pollution, lowering carbon footprints, and investing in local community wellbeing. In her eyes, this demonstrates the growing role PMOs play in creating a better world – not just a better business.

“When project leadership is done well, it supports economic growth, creates jobs, and fosters innovation – while also helping to protect the environment. That’s the kind of leadership we need more of.”

Cel remains committed to promoting the value of PMOs as enablers of lasting progress. Whether it’s through governance, community initiatives, or sustainable delivery models, she believes PMOs have a vital role to play in shaping a better tomorrow.
