Program Manager with 7+ years leading cross-functional delivery and PMO governance, turning ambiguity into executable plans and predictable releases.
UkraineWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Program Manager with 7+ years driving complex cross-functional initiatives in fast-moving, high-uncertainty environments. I build operational discipline that makes the real picture visible to leadership—turning ambiguity into executable plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and decision points.
At Zazmic Inc, I built PMO governance from scratch at a ~500-person organization, creating unified, data-driven dashboards for cross-portfolio visibility. I standardized delivery metrics and release reporting using Zoho Projects and Zoho Analytics, and I defined risk escalation processes so blockers surface early. I also mentor Project Managers on delivery discipline, including risk identification and dependency management.
Previously, as a Project Manager across Zazmic Inc and Clockwise Software, I scaled execution while maintaining alignment through product pivots and shifting constraints. I cut delivery cycle time by ~30% and improved release predictability by ~50% using structured prioritization (Must/Should/Nice-to-have) and proactive commitment tracking; my QA background (test automation and CI/CD basics) helps me translate engineering realities into plans that teams can ship reliably.
