Senior technical program manager delivering enterprise cloud transformations and cybersecurity governance to improve risk reduction and delivery excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Program and Service Delivery Leader with 17+ years of experience leading enterprise transformation, cloud modernization, strategic customer engagement, and cross-functional delivery programs across global organizations. I’m known for managing large-scale cloud migration initiatives, strengthening governance frameworks, and creating delivery accountability with executive stakeholders.
In my current role as a Senior Technical Program Manager, I partner with security, infrastructure, engineering, and business teams to drive enterprise remediation governance and operational risk reduction across global environments. I deliver executive-level reporting on remediation progress, enterprise risk posture, and delivery accountability, while coordinating cross-functional teams to improve vulnerability remediation outcomes and governance processes.
From 2018 to 2024 at Kyndryl/IBM, I led customer-facing cloud transformation and infrastructure modernization programs across AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud for enterprise customers across US and Europe. I coordinated infrastructure vendors, cloud partners, engineering teams, and business stakeholders to align migration strategy, risk mitigation, and service delivery objectives—driving successful multi-million-dollar transformation outcomes.
I also bring a strong track record of measurable delivery results and operational excellence. I delivered accelerated migration timelines, including 5 application migrations within 15-day delivery windows while minimizing production disruption through phased rollout strategies, and achieved client NPS scores of 9.8 through governance cadence, stakeholder communication, and delivery excellence.
