What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading enterprise transformation, integration, or PMO functions where I can drive delivery discipline, stakeholder alignment, and measurable cost and performance improvements.

I am a senior project and change delivery leader with extensive experience driving large-scale enterprise transformations across banking, legal, and financial services.

At Comerica Bank I managed a multi-program transformation portfolio with combined budgets around $20M, led a turnaround of a failing Supplier Performance Management program to on-time go-live, and supported Day‑1 readiness as part of an Integration Management Office.

Previously at Bank of America I led development of a Banking Connect Layer (BCL) platform, modernized API integration frameworks, and delivered process automations that reduced operational costs and produced multimillion-dollar savings while implementing SAFe Agile across cross-functional teams.

I combine program and stakeholder management, risk and budget oversight, and strong delivery discipline with certifications in Scrum and PMP to reliably execute complex initiatives and improve organizational performance.
