PMO leader at AC Disaster Consulting who built governance and delivery across a 90-project disaster recovery portfolio.

At AC Disaster Consulting, I built PMO standards, governance, stage gates, and reporting cadences for a $50M disaster recovery portfolio spanning 90 projects. I also led the Salesforce-to-Productive.io transition and developed AI-enabled PMO tooling.

Across emergency operations, higher education, government, and consulting, I've directed complex portfolios and cross-functional delivery. At Olim Israel, I steered emergency operations serving 1,800+ displaced individuals; at Larimer County Government, I led design and delivery work including a centralized grant tracking database and a $150M broadband utility expansion.
