What I'm looking for
I am a strategic, delivery-focused Agile Program Manager with over 11 years leading cross-functional engineering teams in fast-paced, global tech environments. I specialize in scaling Agile practices and driving cloud-native and SaaS transformations aligned to business strategy.
I spearheaded the Finance Data Lake program to centralize global financial data, enabling real-time insights, reducing manual reporting, and delivering stakeholder dashboards and executive reports. I also managed the Finance Connected Platform, improving sprint cadence, velocity, and delivery accuracy while ensuring enterprise alignment with finance, data governance, and compliance.
