What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, embraces Agile practices, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Senior Technical Program Manager with a proven track record of driving significant improvements in operational efficiency and product delivery. At Xero, I spearheaded a Data Fix Program that achieved a remarkable 98% reduction in data corruption incidents, enhancing database reliability for millions of small businesses globally. My leadership in implementing Agile methodologies resulted in a 40% decrease in post-deployment issues and operational cost savings of $1.2 million within just four months.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on aligning cross-functional teams and enhancing collaboration. By integrating 18 product teams into a quarterly planning framework, I increased project completion rates by 40%. My experience spans various roles, including Agile Coach at Strike Protocols, where I accelerated product launch timelines by 50%, and Technical Program Manager at American Express, where I generated $800 million in revenue through successful product launches.

With a strong foundation in Agile practices and a commitment to customer-centric delivery, I am passionate about leading teams to achieve their goals and drive business success. I hold multiple certifications in Agile coaching and Scrum methodologies, which further enhance my ability to lead and inspire teams in fast-paced environments.
