In this episode, we’re joined by Amireh Amirmazaheri, founder of PMO Solutions and Asia-Pacific Lead for the PMO Global Alliance, often called the Queen of PMO. With a background spanning engineering and large-scale infrastructure portfolios, Tamira brings a rare mix of technical depth and business strategy to the conversation.

She shares why negotiation doesn’t end when the contract is signed and how poor integration, weak transparency, and siloed communication cost organisations millions. Tamira reframes the PMO as a true business enabler, not an administrative function, connecting finance, commercial, and delivery teams to keep projects aligned with strategic goals.

If you’ve ever questioned why 64% of projects fail to meet their objectives, or what it takes for a PMO to prove real value, this episode offers practical lessons on turning governance into growth and creating alignment that lasts beyond delivery.
