What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead executive-aligned Salesforce/CRM delivery programs with strong governance—guiding global teams through planning, integration, UAT, deployment, and adoption. I want to apply AI/automation to improve workflows, reporting, and outcomes.

I’m a Senior Technical Manager with 18+ years of experience leading global technology programs across consulting, banking, and enterprise environments. I oversee globally distributed product and development teams delivering Salesforce and CRM-based solutions that drive business transformation, integration, and operational excellence.

I’m recognized for bridging technology and strategy—partnering with Director- and VP-level stakeholders to define product roadmaps, guide delivery execution, and ensure enterprise systems are implemented, integrated, and adopted effectively. I foster collaboration across business and technical functions, strengthen governance, and consistently align delivery outcomes with organizational goals.

In recent roles, I’ve owned end-to-end Salesforce delivery portfolios, acted as the primary escalation point for delivery and client risks, and ensured consistent execution across clouds, integrations, data migrations, and third-party platforms. I lead the full delivery lifecycle—from planning and requirements through integration, UAT, deployment, and post-launch optimization.

I also bring applied AI capability as a fully fledged MindStudio AI Developer (Level 3), using low-code AI frameworks to enhance integration workflows, improve reporting efficiency, and automate enterprise processes—particularly within Salesforce and SAP CRM ecosystems.
