At Asurion, I managed a $60M+ portfolio across multiple programs, using data-driven pricing strategies, analytics, and AI-enabled insights to optimize performance.

I led end-to-end program execution across workstreams and designed financial and economic models to forecast performance and identify cost-saving opportunities. A cross-functional strategic initiative I spearheaded increased project delivery speed by 25% and improved client satisfaction ratings by 15%.

At Tessco Technologies, Inc., I developed demand forecasts that improved forecast accuracy by 20%, using SAP S/4HANA and analytics to support inventory planning. Earlier, at Ryder Company, I led EDI integration with Oracle systems and resolved shipment issues; at H&R Block, I prepared and reviewed individual and business tax returns.
