What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading program/portfolio delivery in organizations valuing financial discipline, SAFe-driven agile transformation, cross-cultural teams and measurable business outcomes.

I am an experienced project and program manager with deep lean portfolio management expertise, CPA finance background and hands-on delivery of large IT transformation programs across EMEA and APAC. I combine financial control, SAFe-led agile transformation and multi-vendor coordination to deliver projects on time and within budget.

I have led regional and global portfolios, managed multi-hundred-million budgets, operationalized TOM designs for international tech hubs, and implemented mission-critical payment and core-banking transformations. I focus on predictability, risk mitigation and measurable business outcomes when driving change.
