What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise transformation programs where portfolio governance, agile delivery, and vendor management improve predictability and release quality. I want executive-aligned roadmaps, clear financial/resource planning, and room for continuous operational excellence.

I’m a PMP®, PSPO-I, PRINCE2®, and ISTQB-certified Program Manager with 18+ years of experience leading enterprise-scale retail, banking, eCommerce, and digital transformation initiatives. I bring proven expertise across Program Management, Portfolio Governance, Agile Delivery, Vendor Management, and Financial Governance.

I lead multi-team, global delivery programs that support strategic business capabilities across Retail, Merchandising, Pricing, Digital Commerce, Quality Engineering, and Enterprise Technology domains. I’m known for improving delivery predictability, driving operational excellence, reducing delivery risks, increasing organizational agility, and enabling business growth through effective program leadership.

In my recent work, I’ve governed annual program budgets exceeding $5M and overseen portfolio investments valued at $50M+. I’ve also managed vendor contracts and delivery partnerships valued at $2M+ while establishing executive governance frameworks for transparency and decision-making.

I combine strong program leadership with deep Quality Engineering experience—building delivery practices around release readiness, KPI dashboards, and CI/CD quality. I focus on continuous improvement and executive stakeholder alignment so roadmap planning, capacity/resource planning, release governance, and risk management translate into measurable business impact.
