What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations or program role combining executive support and project controls to drive automation, cross-cultural team leadership, cost savings, and measurable operational improvements in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a versatile, impact-driven operations and project management professional with 7+ years of experience supporting executives and directing multi-departmental functions across multicultural, high-growth environments. I specialize in translating strategic priorities into executable plans and measurable outcomes.

I have led cross-functional teams and implemented performance measurement frameworks and workflow automations that improved project reporting accuracy and accelerated decision-making by 25%. I have driven cost-control and compliance initiatives, overseen supply chain and procurement, and administered tools like Procore, Smartsheet, and Unanet to standardize processes and reduce repetitive tasks.

I was awarded Top Employee of the Year 2022 and contributed to the company Business Continuity Plan and PM Guide; I seek opportunities to embed operational excellence, continuous improvement, and technology-led efficiency in collaborative, growth-focused organizations.
