What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

I am a results-driven Product Leader with over 10 years of experience managing end-to-end projects and products across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies. My expertise lies in FinTech, digital records management, and software deliverables, ensuring compliance, quality, and timely results. I have a proven track record in stakeholder management and shaping technology strategies that enhance operational efficiencies.

In my recent role as a Full-Stack Product Owner/Product Manager at Iron Mountain LLC, I facilitated the development of a Digital Operations Reporting and Analytics platform that significantly improved operational performance metrics. I have successfully led large-scale product initiatives, collaborated with cross-functional teams, and mentored less experienced product scrum teams in Agile methodologies, fostering a culture of transparency and trust.

My background includes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Administration and several certifications, including SAFe 5.0 Product Owner/Product Manager and Lean Six Sigma. I am passionate about continuous improvement and aligning high-impact projects with business objectives and customer needs.
