Senior Program Leader with 20+ years driving enterprise transformation, AI adoption, governance, and data‑driven execution across global teams
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a staff program leader with 20+ years of experience driving large-scale cross-functional enterprise programs across technology, operations, and corporate functions. I solve complex enterprise problems with structured analytical approaches, then drive execution across distributed teams through scalable operating models and strong stakeholder alignment.
In my current role as Senior Business Manager (Chief of Staff), I own program portfolio governance—intake, prioritization, and execution tracking—while designing KPI-driven governance frameworks and MBR/QBR business cadence to improve visibility, risk management, and outcomes. I’ve led AI-enabled planning and forecasting adoption and delivered measurable impact (e.g., 11% utilization and 23% forecasting accuracy gains), and I’ve previously driven transformation results like $2M EBIT impact from CLM implementation, 7% profitability improvement through operating model redesign, and 7% EBITDA improvement through disciplined cost and data-driven resource optimization.
