Chris Asuncion
@chrisasuncion
I am a results-driven Program & Project Manager specializing in hardware and software deployments.
What I'm looking for
I am a PMP® and CSM® with 7+ years delivering complex hardware and software initiatives for medical device and technology companies. I focus on end-to-end program leadership, stakeholder alignment and measurable operational improvements.
I have directed enterprise-wide ERP and systems projects including D365 FSC migration from AX2012, Coupa deployment, FastPath, Workday integrations and security tooling, while overseeing installation of network devices, IoT sensors and manufacturing equipment across multiple facilities. These efforts improved operational efficiency by 22% and reduced projected spend by $450K in FY24.
I lead cross-functional Agile and waterfall teams across engineering, R&D, marketing and external partners to accelerate product development and facility deployments, reducing cycle times by 18%. I establish KPI frameworks and dashboards that improved compliance tracking and customer satisfaction by 15% and support data-driven executive decision-making.
I also built and scaled IT service operations—implementing JIRA Service Desk, Confluence and a Microsoft Teams migration—which improved IT support resolution time by 40%. I bring strong vendor and logistics management, budget control and risk/compliance capabilities to ensure projects are delivered on time and under budget.
