Senior technical program manager driving cross-functional AI and data-driven product delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Technical Program Manager with 10+ years driving complex, cross-functional technology programs from strategy through delivery. I translate ambiguous business goals into structured technical roadmaps and align engineering, data science, product, design, and marketing teams on trade-offs and execution plans.
I’ve led data-driven product launches that open new revenue channels, including pioneering agentic AI and large language model (LLM) solutions. At Intuit, I owned end-to-end delivery from inception to MVP and partnered across AI Science, Data, Product, and Engineering to ship Canada’s first agentic AI and LLM-powered solutions.
I embed AI and automation into program workflows to improve efficiency, scale execution without added headcount, and de-risk high-stakes delivery. I also design intake and governance processes, lead change management and adoption, and have a track record of optimizing delivery processes—whether through tooling improvements or managing multi-million-dollar technical programs.
