With expertise in building business cases, managing budgets, and ensuring projects align with corporate objectives, I excel at collaborating with IT, business units, and external consultants to execute complex projects.

My strong background in both supervisory and hands-on roles has allowed me to develop and implement business plans, lead cross-functional teams, and drive accountability to achieve project goals. I am skilled in project tracking, performance evaluation, and process optimization, with a strong focus on improving operations and achieving cost-effective outcomes.
