ItalyWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Project Manager and Agile Coach with over 15 years of experience in managing complex digital, regulatory, and transformation programs. My expertise lies in Agile delivery methodologies such as Scrum, SAFe, and Kanban, along with remote team leadership and cross-functional stakeholder management. I have a proven track record of success in the fintech, banking, and telecom sectors, having collaborated with industry giants like Cisco, Intesa Sanpaolo, Deutsche Bank, and Accenture.
Throughout my career, I have led significant initiatives that have resulted in substantial cost savings and operational efficiencies. For instance, at Cisco, I spearheaded the Agile delivery of a large-scale network automation platform, achieving a 20% reduction in release cycles and saving over $2 million annually. My role at Intesa Sanpaolo involved managing strategic programs, including GDPR compliance, where I successfully delivered on time with zero regulatory breaches. I am passionate about fostering Agile transformations and enhancing team performance through effective coaching and governance.
