What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead project delivery and business operations end-to-end—improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enabling data-driven decisions. I thrive in cross-functional teams and value structured planning, stakeholder alignment, and continuous improvement.

I’m a Project Manager and business operations professional with more than 15 years of experience leading business improvement initiatives, operational projects, and cross-functional teams. My background spans telecommunications, technology, automotive, construction, and business services, and I focus on delivering outcomes that improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenue, and support organizational growth.

I bring a practical, structured approach to project planning, stakeholder engagement, risk management, and delivery through my PMP certification, plus credentials in Scrum and cloud technologies. I’ve improved operational efficiency by 25% with collaborative tracking and reporting, increased market share by 30% with KPI-driven initiatives, and reduced operating costs by 10% through process reviews and workflow optimization.

In my recent roles, I’ve coordinated operational and business improvement projects to keep deliverables on schedule and aligned with business objectives, including implementing a SharePoint-based collaboration process and building KPI dashboards for management decision-making. Earlier, I led operational and technology initiatives as a Director of Operations and drove improvements in workflow efficiency and team productivity—strengthening how teams communicate, track work, and utilize resources.
