What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end technical programs where I can set shared goals, manage risk, and deliver measurable outcomes. I want high-trust, cross-functional execution at scale with clear metrics, roadmap alignment, and executive visibility.

I’m a Technical Program Manager with 15+ years driving end-to-end product and program delivery in matrixed organizations across SaaS, cloud, AI, and IoT environments. I influence technical and product strategy by proactively identifying risks, building mitigation plans, and aligning delivery teams around shared goals and roadmap priorities. I also design impact metrics that improve execution clarity and delivery predictability, enabling more reliable forecasting and executive planning.

Across my recent and senior roles, I’ve led enterprise data and security/compliance initiatives, built real-time program health reporting, and transformed third-party compliance to reduce CVE exposure and strengthen audit readiness. As a Director of Agile Delivery, I owned multi-product IoT and mobile delivery strategy, scaled global cross-functional execution, and standardized agile tooling and governance (including Jira and Confluence). From large $5M+ portfolios to Agile and Waterfall execution, I’m known for translating technical details into business outcomes, communicating with precision and speed, and partnering across UX, engineering, legal, and stakeholders to deliver at scale.
