What I'm looking for

I'm looking for project and delivery management roles in tech and digital product teams, or senior project and account roles in advertising and brand. I'm open to remote work and want to apply my enterprise delivery discipline to digital products.

I've spent 13 years at DDB delivering integrated advertising and digital campaigns for enterprise clients, including a 12-year Volkswagen relationship. I manage scope, timelines, budgets, risks and vendors across 3 to 4 concurrent projects.

I lead teams across UX/UI, product, creative and production, and have grown strategic accounts, maintained client satisfaction above 9/10, and reduced approval turnaround by about 20%. I'm bringing this delivery discipline into digital product and tech project management through hands-on Figma and MVP prototyping work.
