I lead AI automation and licensing operations that improve deal efficiency and accuracy.
What I'm looking for
At Microsoft through Capgemini Consulting, I lead AI transformation work that increases deal efficiency and velocity through automation.
I partner with AI engineers to design and deliver automation for high-volume daily tasks, lead UAT and DevOps validation, and resolve post-launch hypercare defects to keep releases stable.
As a Senior Licensing Analyst and Lead, I analyze deal data, build proposals, process global high-volume licensing contracts, and audit completed deals for accuracy and zero defects. I also train team members on complex processes and serve as a trusted contact for stakeholders across Microsoft sales and partner teams.
My earlier leadership experience includes building Absolute Vapor from the ground up as it grew to four stores and a warehouse, managing HR, payroll, inventory, and operations. I bring business management, compliance, staff development, and customer-focused operations experience to every role.
