Project Executive Summary
The Global BT Radianz Network Migration and Trading Connectivity Modernization Programme, a multi-million euro initiative to transition 300+ B2B trading connections from legacy data centers (CGC1) to a resilient dual-site co-location architecture at Equinix LD4 and InterXion, delivering 100% redundancy for mission-critical FIX sessions and eTrading services. The programme applied a hybrid delivery model combining Waterfall planning phases with Agile rolling-wave execution windows.
Technical stack: BT Radianz, Equinix LD4, InterXion, FIX Sessions, Firewall governance, Project Tracking System, GMP / CCR /CHG governance systems, Excel, Zoom.
Role Executive Summary
Senior Project & Service Delivery Manager. Directed the end-to-end migration of a high-stakes B2B trading network estate, managing vendor coordination with BT and complex multi-team dependencies across networking, security, and application teams. Owned RAID management (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions), escalation handling, and funding approval cycles. Engineered the Supernet-based batching/grouping model that provided the scalable migration framework for rolling-wave execution, and delivered 37% migration of the total IP baseline in the first execution phase.
Deliverables
Engineered a high-availability dual-site co-location architecture at Equinix LD4 and InterXion, delivering 100% redundancy for critical FIX sessions and eTrading services, by replacing single-circuit legacy data centres with a resilient failover design for Capital Markets operations.• Optimized the programme's cost baseline by identifying and decommissioning unused trading connections, mitigating multi-million euro double-charging risks during the transition from the legacy "Ultra" architecture to modern co-location cages, through systematic firewall lifecycle reviews.
Spearheaded the end-to-end migration of a 300+ connection global B2B trading connectivity estate (BT Radianz), achieving 37% migration of the total IP baseline within the first execution phase, by orchestrating a hybrid delivery model combining Waterfall planning with rolling-wave Agile execution windows.
Directed cross-functional governance for 166 baseline connections across firewall, security, and application teams, ensuring zero operational disruption during high-stakes weekend execution windows (Day 1–Day 3 structured migration cycles) using RAID management and GMP/CCR/CHG governance frameworks.
Launched a Supernet-based batching/grouping model for structured rolling-wave migrations, accelerating execution velocity and providing a reusable delivery framework for the migration of hundreds of clients across EMEA and global Capital Markets.
These programs typically offer features like remote viewing, motion detection alerts, video analytics, cloud storage, and user access controls.
