What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

I am a strategic and detail-oriented Technical Project Manager and Agile Coach with over a decade of experience leading cross-functional teams in software development, marketing, and design across various industries. My journey has been marked by a proven success in implementing Agile, Scrum, and SAFe methodologies to streamline operations, increase delivery velocity, and enhance team collaboration.

At IBM, I have managed over 50 projects for the IBM Quantum team, delivering critical design and marketing milestones that have been key to our success in the quantum space. I take pride in my ability to implement innovative processes, such as a new data collection method that resolved 75% of issues in just two months, significantly shortening timelines. My role as an Agile Coach has allowed me to revamp underperforming teams, fostering an environment of autonomy and high performance, which has led to improved product quality and client engagement.
