Message

At Cognizant - Organon, I lead PMO governance and SAP S/4HANA project execution for the LATAM region. I spearheaded an AI CSI Ideathon that generated 153 ideas, eliminated 440+ monthly tickets, and delivered $5.5M in annual savings.

I also deployed two GenAI use cases in production: GitHub Copilot for automated code generation and SAP IBP Joule for intelligent business planning. I manage portfolios of up to $10M in annual revenue and report delivery performance to Steering Committees and C-level stakeholders.

Earlier at Cognizant, I delivered programs across Life Sciences, Retail, Insurance, and Telecommunications, including leading distributed teams of up to 100+ FTEs. My work has included PMO governance, BI and data warehouse services, and reporting solutions for global teams.
