Technical Program Manager with 25+ years delivering complex, regulated enterprise programs across engineering, operations, and business teams.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Program Manager with 25+ years of enterprise delivery experience across healthcare, financial services, and life sciences—where everything is complex, regulated, and mission-critical. I own and drive high-complexity programs across legacy modernization, multi-system data flows, and platform stabilization while keeping distributed teams aligned and moving.
I bring structured program governance, RAID management, and hands-on Agile/SAFe delivery to every engagement. Known for surfacing risks early and building executive confidence through clear communication, I help teams deliver consistently—even under pressure.
In regulated environments, I’ve led governance across 97 test and UAT environments, coordinated environment provisioning, dependency tracking, and release readiness, and strengthened audit traceability and compliance controls. I’ve also driven production stabilization and zero-tolerance incident response by coordinating engineering, operations, and vendor teams with clear executive reporting and structured root cause resolution.
I consistently focus on continuous improvement and measurable outcomes—automating processes to reduce environment request processing time by 60%, standardizing IT governance and deployment readiness checklists, and improving delivery velocity through better dependency mapping and RAID log management. Along the way, I’ve progressed into people leadership, building high-performing configuration engineering and QA teams and bridging business strategy to execution-ready program plans.
