What I'm looking for

I am seeking long-term enterprise leadership roles focused on governance, stability, AI enablement, and measurable operational impact with cross-functional teams.

I am a strategic portfolio and PMO leader with 15+ years of experience overseeing enterprise technology portfolios and delivering measurable business impact. I specialize in AI enablement, governance, and stabilizing complex operating models at scale.

I have led multi-million dollar portfolios and transformation programs across media, aerospace, enterprise retail, and technology firms, improving delivery velocity, operational efficiency, and risk posture. I build durable governance models and institutionalize standardized processes to sustain performance beyond engagements.

Throughout my career I have translated executive strategy into structured portfolio oversight, chaired executive decision forums, and owned value realization reporting for AI, HR technology, and enterprise platform initiatives. I emphasize responsible AI adoption by aligning Legal, Privacy, Cyber, and business stakeholders.

I seek long-term enterprise leadership roles focused on stability, governance, and measurable outcomes where I can scale PMO capability, drive cross-functional alignment, and deliver sustained operational maturity.
