@claudiacristea
Senior IT Project Manager with 15+ years delivering PRINCE2, Agile and PM² programmes across EU institutional and enterprise environments.
RomaniaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a PRINCE2 Practitioner and PMI-ACP certified IT Project Manager with 15+ years leading infrastructure modernization, software delivery, cybersecurity, and digital transformation across global, regulated corporate and EU institutional environments. I specialize in end-to-end programme and project delivery—scope, planning, resource coordination, budgets, governance, and operational readiness.
In recent roles, I drove zero unplanned downtime through structured after-hours cutovers while modernizing SDN infrastructure, and I delivered the MISP cybersecurity intelligence platform across DEV/TEST/PRE-PROD/PROD, consolidating 1,000+ threat indicators into a centralized automated analysis workflow under strict DPIA governance. I also manage multi-vendor teams and institutional stakeholders with audit-ready documentation, KPI tracking, and governance reporting across PRINCE2 and PM².
I bring a track record of measurable outcomes at scale, including a vPKI transformation that reduced authentication time by 90% for 80,000+ users and Agile execution across 30+ manufacturing facilities to improve supply-chain visibility. I’m currently focused on senior remote Project / Programme Management roles that require strong ownership, structured execution, and asynchronous international collaboration.
