Results-driven Project Manager delivering strategic, data-driven technology and business transformation programs.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Project Manager with 10+ years leading cross-functional teams and delivering enterprise-wide technology, operations, and business transformation initiatives. I blend Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies to ensure projects meet scope, schedule, and budget constraints.
Throughout my career I have built and led PMOs, standardized governance frameworks, and overseen portfolios of strategic initiatives that improved visibility and performance. I use data analytics and automated reporting (Power BI, Tableau, Excel) to inform decisions and drive measurable outcomes.
My achievements include reducing delivery delays and cycle times, improving quality metrics and sponsor satisfaction, and achieving strong regulatory compliance in highly regulated environments. I have a track record of driving cost savings, operational efficiencies, and stakeholder alignment.
I am committed to continuous improvement, strong stakeholder engagement, and delivering business value through disciplined project, program, and portfolio management practices.
