What I'm looking for

I seek a senior project leadership role in financial services or IT focused on regulatory compliance, budget ownership, governance, and stakeholder partnership, in a collaborative culture where I can drive measurable process and reporting improvements.

I am a PMP- and PSM-certified senior project manager with 10+ years delivering enterprise-wide projects across financial services, IT, and compliance. I specialize in program governance, financial planning, and regulatory alignment.

I have a proven record managing multimillion-dollar budgets and developing chargeback models, forecasting, and financial dashboards to inform senior leadership. I use Jira, CA PPM (Clarity), MS Project, Visio, Excel and Salesforce to drive efficiency and reporting. My projects have reduced time-to-reporting by 10% and automated regulatory capital calculations, cutting manual effort by 20%.

I led infrastructure, Merger/ acquisition, governance and heightened regulatory expectations initiatives and directed security compliance and infrastructure migration work to meet CISO requirements. I partnered with finance, vendors, and stakeholders to build business cases, validate costs, and communicate risks to executives. I proactively identify risks and craft solutions to keep programs on track.

I hold PMP (2025) and PSM I (2020) certifications and an MBA in Strategic Management. I am seeking senior project leadership roles where I can drive compliance-focused transformations, steward budgets, and improve governance across complex enterprise environments.
