What I'm looking for

I seek an Agile leadership role where I can coach teams, drive Agile adoption, deliver measurable impact in Analytics/Procurement/IT, and grow in a collaborative, continuous-improvement culture.

I am an experienced Agile Project Manager and coach with over 5 years specializing in Analytics, Procurement, and IT projects. I have a strong track record of leading complex cross-functional initiatives, driving Agile adoption, and delivering high-quality results.

I champion continuous improvement and collaboration, serving as an Atlassian site administrator and coaching teams to higher Agile maturity. I led the digital transformation of an internal procurement tool (integrating GenAI) to increase adoption by 80%, implemented a contract playbook to reduce contracting cycle time by 20% saving 215 hours per contract manager annually, and developed spend and invoice dashboards that reduced spending by 5%.
