What I'm looking for
I am a director-level strategic operations and portfolio leader with 15+ years of experience delivering financial discipline, execution rigor, and organizational alignment across complex, distributed environments. I currently oversee a $10M portfolio across three concurrent enterprise programs, lead seven direct reports, and manage multi-team operating rhythms, forecasting, vendor governance, and executive reporting.
