At Cognizant, I serve as a Chief of Staff and trusted advisor supporting a 2,700-person global organization, leading strategic planning, KPI governance, executive reporting, business operations, and organizational performance. I built commercialization governance for 250+ healthcare software products and services and helped improve on-time delivery from 40% to 84% within one year.

Across Lumeris, DST Health Solutions, and Computer Sciences Corporation, I've built PMOs, implementation organizations, and operating models from the ground up. I've led global teams of up to 60, managed a $180M technology budget, and delivered scalable healthcare technology operations, governance, and continuous improvement.
