What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a certified Project Manager and Product Owner with over 14 years of experience in leading high-impact technology and business transformation projects. My expertise lies in Agile and Scrum methodologies, which I have successfully applied to manage multi-million-dollar projects across various sectors including IT consulting, telecommunications, and financial services.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to drive cross-functional collaboration and deliver digital products that enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. I have a proven track record of managing project portfolios valued at over $7M, ensuring timely execution and adherence to budget constraints. My commitment to data-driven decision-making is reflected in my effective use of reporting tools like Power BI and Tableau, which have enabled me to improve service responsiveness significantly.

As a leader, I prioritize coaching teams on best practices and fostering an environment of continuous improvement. I am passionate about aligning business goals with technology roadmaps and am dedicated to delivering value at every stage of the project lifecycle.
