What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading enterprise platform modernization and automation programs with strong governance, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to drive measurable delivery improvements.

I am a Program & Project Manager with 9+ years delivering enterprise technology initiatives across platform implementations, automation, analytics enablement, infrastructure modernization, and operational transformation.

I lead complex cross-functional programs from discovery through production, balancing governance, financial control, execution discipline, and stakeholder alignment while operating across Agile, hybrid, and waterfall delivery models.

Notable outcomes include reducing cross-team decision latency by ~30% through structured governance, deploying automation and AI workflows to improve onboarding and incident triage, and building Power BI reporting that enabled leadership self-service and reduced manual reporting effort.

I hold PMP and CSM certifications, manage multi-million dollar budgets, and focus on delivery predictability, regulatory compliance, vendor oversight, and sustaining adoption across technical and non-technical teams.
