What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fully remote role where I can lead complex programs, solve problems, and make a meaningful impact. I value trust, autonomy, collaboration, stability, and work-life balance. I’m especially interested in technology, cybersecurity, AI, SaaS, data, and transformation, with opportunities to continue growing as a leader.

I’m a PMP, CSM, and CPMAI-certified Technology Program and Project Manager with 15+ years of experience leading complex projects and programs across technology, cybersecurity, data protection, infrastructure, compliance, and business transformation.

Throughout my career, I’ve managed cross-functional teams, project portfolios, budgets, vendors, risks, dependencies, and executive communications across Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid environments. In my current role, I lead enterprise technology initiatives within a global financial institution, directly support CIO-level priorities, and lead a team of five Project Managers. I’m comfortable stepping into complex or ambiguous environments, creating structure, bringing the right teams together, and escalating issues when needed to keep delivery moving.

My experience includes cybersecurity and data protection programs, NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance, software and infrastructure initiatives, data governance, IAM, SDLC, and enterprise transformation. I also have experience with Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, Monday.com, Microsoft Project, and other enterprise project management tools. I regularly use AI and automation to improve reporting, documentation, communications, planning, and overall project delivery efficiency.

I’m most interested in senior-level Technology Program Manager, Technical Program Manager, Senior Project Manager, PMO/Portfolio Manager, Transformation, Implementation, and Product Operations opportunities. I enjoy roles where I can solve problems, improve processes, work across technical and business teams, and have ownership from planning through delivery.
