What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, where I can lead teams to achieve strategic objectives and drive Agile transformations.

I am a dedicated Agile Program Director and Certified Scrum Professional with over 15 years of experience in project management and operations leadership. My journey has been defined by a commitment to fostering teamwork and delivering results through transparency and authenticity. I thrive in environments that embrace Agile methodologies, where I can lead teams to realize their potential and create significant value.

At Flagship Credit Acceptance, I have successfully implemented SCRUM methodologies, driving Agile product transformation across the organization. My key achievements include strategizing and budgeting projects aligned with long-range plans, leading project takeovers, and creating comprehensive training materials that promote a culture of Agile understanding. My passion lies in empowering teams to connect, motivate, and achieve collective goals, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed expectations.

With a strong focus on continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making, I have pioneered initiatives that have doubled company revenue and significantly increased team velocity. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise in Agile practices to a new organization, where I can continue to make a meaningful impact.
