Senior Project Manager delivering enterprise IT infrastructure modernization through strong program governance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Project and Program Manager with 10+ years leading enterprise IT portfolios across financial services, pharma, and global technology environments. I’ve delivered 60+ projects annually and led infrastructure modernization programs valued at $600K+.
I focus on end-to-end program governance—translating business strategy into executable project roadmaps, setting up PMO frameworks, and maintaining portfolio oversight. I’m hands-on with scope & schedule, budget tracking, and proactive risk & issue management, including structured change management to reduce disruption.
In my current role, I lead all IT projects across 3 India locations at USP, reporting directly to the Director of IT. I’ve driven new digital tool launches for the science department with a strong user-adoption approach, while maintaining PMO governance practices like project dashboards, milestone tracking, and executive status reporting.
Previously at Fiserv, I managed a 60+ project infrastructure portfolio annually and directed modernization work across multi-site enterprise banking environments, including deployment of 300+ network hardware devices. I also bring a quality and implementation lens from earlier roles in QA oversight and system implementation—helping teams tighten delivery execution, resolve escalations faster, and sustain continuous operational improvement.
