I lead enterprise transformation portfolios that turn complex priorities into measurable business outcomes.

United States
Message

At Charles Schwab, I lead integrated portfolio planning across two of the PMO's largest portfolios in a 6,500+ employee service organization. I bring together priorities, dependencies, capacity, launch timing, and cross-functional impacts so leaders can make informed tradeoff decisions.

Across 15+ years, I've led multimillion-dollar modernization, systems implementation, and organizational-change programs in financial services, technology, and public service. I build governance, roadmaps, operating rhythms, and executive reporting that clarify ownership, strengthen accountability, and move complex work forward.
