What I'm looking for

I seek senior IT leadership roles where I can lead cross-functional teams to deliver enterprise-scale automation, EDI/SAP/BI initiatives, and drive measurable ROI in collaborative, growth-focused organizations.

I am a senior technology and business leader with a demonstrated history of automating and scaling processes for large enterprises, managing end-to-end technology needs from inception through maintenance. I lead cross-functional teams, deliver complex SAP/WMi and EDI implementations, and drive ROI through pragmatic project management and vendor collaboration.

My background includes senior roles at Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, and large distribution and manufacturing firms, where I delivered multimillion-dollar initiatives, implemented enterprise BI and data migration solutions, and improved operational efficiencies across NA and LATAM. I combine technical depth (SAP, HANA, EDI, WMi, BI/ETL) with PMP/CSM/SAFe practices and multilingual communication to align IT with business strategy.
