What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic business planning, forecasting, financial modeling, and account strategy work in an OEM, service provider, telco, or enterprise technology environment.

I'm building multi-year business plans, forecasting models, and performance metrics for Montgomery County Public Schools, translating institutional strategy into executable outcomes.

I develop Excel-based statistical and financial models, business cases, ROI frameworks, and performance-gap processes that guide resource allocation and investment decisions. I also synthesize market research and competitive intelligence into executive-ready recommendations for senior leadership and Board of Education stakeholders.

Previously at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I supported mission-critical ACES platforms within the OEM and enterprise technology ecosystem. I coordinated delivery across build, installation, and distribution, created organization-wide technical documentation and training, and reduced partner-facing risk through system, security, backup, and redundancy practices.

I'm experienced in leading cross-functional teams without formal authority, strengthening pipeline discipline, activating strategic partnerships, and coaching colleagues to make data-driven decisions.
