What I'm looking for

I seek strategic roles leading high-impact, cross-functional programs where I can drive measurable growth, mentor teams, and influence outcomes in collaborative, mission-driven organizations.

I am a Strategic Principal Program Manager with 15+ years leading end-to-end program lifecycle execution across global health, governance, and digital transformation. I create structure in ambiguous environments, align engineering, product, and executive teams, and influence outcomes without direct authority to deliver programs that reach millions of users and generate measurable business value.

My background includes directing large portfolios, architecting strategic growth roadmaps, and building data-driven decision systems. I excel at mitigating systemic risks and dependencies, designing scalable program management systems, and advising executive leadership on partnership development and organizational transformation.
