I optimize software assets, licensing, compliance, and renewals across enterprise portfolios.

At Visa, I manage software and enterprise hardware portfolios across demand planning, procurement, renewals, lifecycle review, retirement, and decommissioning. I partner with Procurement, Finance, Strategic Sourcing, Legal, Infrastructure, Engineering, and business teams to connect entitlements, usage, contracts, and lifecycle decisions.

I maintain traceable asset, entitlement, deployment, contract, and discovery data through FlexNet Manager Suite, Eracent, SAP Ariba, and Oracle iProcurement. I also support SOX, internal audit, compliance reporting, executive dashboards, governance trackers, and an in-house budgeting and forecasting solution that automated recurring ITAM processes.

Previously at Lowe’s, I automated license tracking and contract visibility in Flexera, performed ELP assessments for Microsoft and Adobe, and led utilization analysis and license reclamation. My work delivered estimated annual savings of $200K+ and reduced software spend by approximately 10–15% annually.

Across GE Global Research and CYIENT, I built experience in software procurement, inventory, audit support, license administration, asset lifecycle management, and hardware operations. I bring 10+ years of hands-on SAM and ITAM experience focused on accurate data, audit readiness, and cost optimization.
