What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise cloud, SaaS, AI, or digital transformation portfolios where I can strengthen PMO governance, align executive stakeholders, coach global teams, and deliver measurable customer and business outcomes.

At Oracle, I lead enterprise-scale Oracle Cloud Infrastructure programs across Engineering, Product, Go-To-Market, Support, Governance, and Oracle University. I direct 13+ Agile teams and 120+ engineers while owning governance, KPIs, resourcing, and multi-million-dollar portfolios.

Previously at MathWorks, I led cross-functional software programs for flagship products including Antenna Toolbox for MATLAB, Automated Driving Toolbox, and RoadRunner. I coached 70+ global team members and strengthened release discipline, Agile work management, and delivery maturity.

At IBM, I led the AI-powered Cognitive Sales Advisor transformation program, delivering $96M in winning opportunities through improved opportunity identification and prioritization. My IBM experience also spans enterprise digital programs, full SDLC delivery, analytics, global team leadership, and Agile and Waterfall execution.

I build PMO governance, executive alignment, transparent reporting, and continuous-improvement practices that help global organizations deliver customer-centric solutions predictably.
