What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead PMO governance and enterprise transformation—combining automation, KPI performance management, and operational excellence to improve SLAs, scalability, and measurable business outcomes in global, cross-functional teams.

I’m a Program Management professional with 18+ years of experience leading enterprise transformation, PMO governance, operational improvement, and service delivery across Technology, Cloud Infrastructure, Automotive, Telecom, Banking, and Global Capability Center (GCC) environments.

I partner with executive stakeholders and global clients—including Microsoft, Nissan, Telstra, British Telecom, HSBC, and Paychex—to implement transformation programs, strengthen governance frameworks, and enable data-driven decision-making in complex operational settings. Through large-scale initiatives, I’ve delivered automation and process reengineering that generated approximately $2.0M in annual business benefits, 42+ FTE productivity gains, and measurable improvements in scalability, compliance, and service performance.

I manage global operations and cross-functional teams of up to 150+ professionals, overseeing portfolio governance, resource planning, risk management, performance management, and strategic initiatives that stabilize operations while supporting business growth. I’ve designed KPI governance frameworks, executive dashboards, workload segmentation models, and benefits-tracking mechanisms to improve operational visibility and enhance SLA compliance.

Most recently, I’ve spearheaded enterprise-wide Process Excellence and GCC transformation initiatives, delivering automation/RPA and process optimization programs that produced approximately $2.0M in annualized cost savings, improved operational efficiency by 30%+, and unlocked 32+ FTE productivity gains. I’m also a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (CLSS MBB), PMP (PMI), and ITIL-certified, and I bring structured controls, continuous improvement, and delivery excellence into every program I run.
