What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading cross-functional technical programs where I can drive cloud/security transformations, improve delivery cadence, and mentor teams in Agile/SAFe practices.

I am a Senior Technical Program Manager with 20+ years in IT consulting and 11+ years leading technical projects and programs across cloud, security, and enterprise SaaS landscapes.

I have driven large cross-functional initiatives at Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Charles Schwab, and others—spearheading cloud migrations, security certification programs, Salesforce implementations, and release management while improving defect tracking, automation, and team cadence.

I lead with Agile and SAFe practices (CSM, SAFe Agilist, CSPO), focus on stakeholder alignment and measurable outcomes, and deliver predictable roadmaps, improved KPI visibility, and reduced cycle times.
