What I'm looking for

I seek senior program or project leadership roles where I can drive Agile transformation, optimize delivery, mentor teams, and deliver measurable business outcomes in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a Senior Project Manager with 13 years of experience leading complex, cross-functional IT and cloud migration projects using Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies. I am a Certified Scrum Master and PMP who consistently delivers measurable business value through risk mitigation, resource planning, and program governance.

At IBM I directed enterprise-level initiatives, managed teams of 50+ across engineering, UX, and product, implemented Agile at scale, and optimized costs and operational efficiency. I have a strong track record in vendor negotiations, SLA management, KPI definition, and executive stakeholder communication.

I mentor and develop junior project managers, drive process improvements, and leverage tools such as MS Project, Jira, Confluence, Tableau, Power BI, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) to ensure timely, high-quality delivery aligned with strategic objectives.
