What I'm looking for

I want a senior leadership role driving cross-functional programs and operations, with emphasis on transformation, AI-enabled solutions, measurable cost savings, and collaborative, impact-focused teams.

I am a results-oriented program leader with 12+ years of experience leading cross-functional teams, delivering client-focused solutions, and driving company-wide initiatives across multiple industries.

As Director of Operations & AI Solutions, I oversee end-to-end project delivery for international teams, design operational playbooks, and launched a centralized resource hub to standardize workflows and improve collaboration.

At McKinsey & Company I led day-to-day execution of client projects, collaborated with executive clients on cost reduction and productivity initiatives, and helped secure measurable savings including $130M+ USD across business units.

My background includes engineering and program leadership roles where I delivered on-time, on-budget programs, captured multi-million dollar savings, and combined technical depth with strong stakeholder management to drive transformation.
