What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth, preferably in a collaborative environment where I can lead impactful projects.

I am a Senior Project & Program Manager with over 15 years of experience leading complex, multi-stream initiatives across the tech, pharma, and digital industries. My proven success in building PMOs and driving Agile transformations at scale has equipped me with the skills to coach cross-functional teams effectively. I excel in risk management, stakeholder engagement, and translating strategy into actionable plans.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered results under pressure, simplifying complexity and fostering collaborative execution. My recent role as a Senior Infrastructure Project Manager at BeyondSoft involved supporting application development teams with AWS cloud infrastructure and establishing a centralized dashboard for tracking progress on concurrent work-streams. I take pride in my ability to identify work-streams and remediate security issues, ensuring that projects run smoothly and efficiently.

In my previous positions, I have spearheaded initiatives that led to significant improvements in operational efficiency and team productivity. For instance, at Prodigious, I designed a resource allocation framework that increased productivity by 25%, directly contributing to a 15% increase in market share. I am passionate about driving change and continuously seek opportunities to enhance team performance and project outcomes.
