What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to lead transformative projects while enhancing team collaboration and productivity.

I am an enterprising and innovative Project Manager and PMO Manager with over 13 years of experience in project and program leadership. My career has been dedicated to helping companies expand their use of technology, improving performance and productivity. I have successfully led multiple projects, identified change opportunities, and secured over $2 million in additional revenue, ensuring companies maintain productivity and continue to progress.

In 2020, I took over and transformed a struggling project to Kanban, reducing delivery time by 7 weeks and saving $50,000 in costs. My leadership style emphasizes communication, risk management, and continuous improvement, allowing me to manage teams effectively and deliver projects valued at over $6 million. I am passionate about advocating for Automation and AI/ML adaptation to enhance productivity and project delivery.
