What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration and innovation, with opportunities for growth.

I am a seasoned Senior Project Manager with extensive experience in leading complex projects across various industries. My recent role at Cooperate Marketing involved spearheading the DST-BIP platform launch, where I streamlined stakeholder alignment and reduced code conflicts, ensuring timely project delivery. I also instituted a QA Sign-Off Process that achieved zero defects, significantly enhancing the quality of our deliverables. My leadership in SOC II Compliance initiatives has driven security and confidentiality controls, ensuring full regulatory compliance for our projects.

Previously, as a Project Manager and Scrum Master at Interswitch Group - Quickteller, I optimized sprint planning and led vendor onboarding processes that enhanced collaboration and reduced ramp-up time. My earlier experience as an Account Supervisor at Cooperate Marketing allowed me to drive SaaS marketing initiatives that resulted in an impressive 85% user adoption rate within six months, securing our team's spot on the Inc. 5000 list. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in project management and agile methodologies to deliver exceptional results.
