What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration and innovation, allowing me to leverage my skills in project management and team alignment.

With a diverse background ranging from Scrum Master to Procurement Buyer, I have developed a unique skill set that allows me to thrive in various roles. My experience spans large corporations like IBM and innovative startups such as PhotoShelter, where I have collaborated with international teams, both local and remote. My primary focus has always been to help teams align effectively, ensuring that deliverables meet the expected quality.

Currently, as a Program Manager at Google Inviso, I manage data sets for multiple Microsoft campaigns across numerous countries. My role involves analyzing data from various sources to inform management on client volumes and forecasting potential markets. I am detail-oriented and adept at adapting my presentations to suit different audiences, which has significantly improved internal processes and reduced reporting time.

Throughout my career, I have facilitated Scrum ceremonies and led multidisciplinary teams, optimizing workflows and ensuring effective communication among stakeholders. My commitment to continuous improvement and process enhancement has been a constant throughout my professional journey, driving successful project outcomes and fostering a collaborative team environment.
