Message

At OCTAVE, I built the PMO practice and Internal Shared Services Portfolio initiative from the ground up, establishing governance, methodologies, and delivery standards for approximately 60 programs and projects annually. I designed the portfolio lifecycle and partner with a C-suite steering committee to align priorities and execution with organizational strategy.

Previously, at JPMORGAN CHASE, I led product delivery and program management for consumer-banking financial products. At HALLIBURTON, I led project management across software programs, achieving greater than 95% on-time delivery, and implemented requirements improvements that reduced costs by 15%+ across multiple programs.
