Kirtika Patel

A highly accomplished and results driven Senior Manager and Project Management Specialist with over 12 years of demonstrated excellence in the pharmaceutical, health retail, and creative sectors. My core expertise lies in end-to-end project management, strategic operational planning, and driving significant financial growth.

My career at Alliance Boots was defined by a proven track record of leadership and performance optimisation. I successfully boosted Healthcare sales by 15%, reduced staff turnover by 35%, and led the flagship launch of the largest Healthcare Centre in the East Midlands. I excel in exceeding KPIs, enhancing customer service metrics, and implementing capability training programs to develop high performing teams.

I possess advanced skills in ergonomic engagement, budget management, and process improvement, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope. My experience extends to business development, client relations, and compliance, supported by proficiency in key software and a strong analytical background from my BSc in Psychology.

I am seeking a challenging role where I can leverage my strategic vision and operational expertise to deliver exceptional results and contribute to organisational success.

My academic foundation is a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Media Studies from Lincoln University, which equipped me with a powerful and unique skill set that I am incredibly enthusiastic to apply in a strategic managerial capacity. This degree provided me with advanced critical thinking, data analysis, and research capabilities, directly applicable to understanding consumer behaviour and optimising business performance. Furthermore, it honed my communication and emotional intelligence, which are vital for effective leadership, stakeholder engagement, and fostering high performing teams.

I am passionate about leveraging this robust analytical and human centric knowledge to drive business advancement. I actively complement this with practical, hands on expertise, such as my training in Intermediate Photography & Studio Management, which sharpened my project planning, client relations, and operational budgeting skills. I am a perpetual learner, eager to utilise my multifaceted education to solve complex problems, implement innovative solutions, and contribute significantly to organisational growth and success.
