Message

At Allegiance Advisory Group, I developed an enterprise AI Transformation Action Plan and four-pillar maturity model, translating assessment results into prioritized roadmaps. I also delivered an AI-focused webinar series to senior stakeholders to build organizational AI fluency and executive buy-in.

For KPMG, I led a 100+ member global program team and a $6M+ budget for an enterprise SaaS HR analytics platform serving 400+ end users. At Fannie Mae, I managed a $3M+ portfolio of seven strategic technology initiatives; earlier, I led data governance and platform integration work for Freddie Mac's Common Securitization Platform.
