United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Project Manager with a robust IT background in financial, operational, and engineering systems and technology. My career began in the fashion industry, where I transitioned from modeling to tech, quickly rising to a senior management position within two years. Currently, I manage IT projects at Travelfusion, a subsidiary of Trip.com Group, where I lead a team of project managers and oversee the implementation of new platforms and processes across the organization.
In addition to my role at Travelfusion, I co-own and manage a coffee plantation in Brazil, where I have successfully scaled operations from 10,000 to 140,000 plants. My experience also includes project management for high-net-worth individuals in various sectors, including banking and real estate, where I ensured timely project completion and effective stakeholder communication. I am passionate about driving project efficiency and fostering team collaboration, and I aim to continue my upward trajectory in the tech field.
