What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading complex IT or sustainability-focused programs where I can drive cross-functional teams, implement data-informed decision making, and deliver measurable business value in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a Project Manager with 6+ years leading end-to-end IT lifecycles, delivering hybrid cloud, infrastructure, and software support projects on multi-million dollar budgets while reporting to C-level stakeholders. I hold PMP® certification, strong Agile and Waterfall proficiency, and a track record of motivating cross-functional technical teams to achieve strategic objectives and high client satisfaction.

My background blends project delivery, commercial analysis, and Lean manufacturing practices with formal training in data science and AI; I contributed to IBM sustainability and AI research initiatives and publish applied MBA research on NDVI and green employment. I prioritize rigorous risk mitigation, transparent stakeholder communication, and measurable business value in every engagement.
