@regedwards
Program and project management leader driving cloud transformations and multimillion-dollar IT initiatives.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Program/Project Management Professional (PMP) with over 20 years delivering multimillion-dollar initiatives across banking, wealth management and IT transformation. I lead complex cloud migrations, API integrations, and software development projects using Agile, Waterfall and hybrid methodologies.
I have a strong track record optimizing processes, reducing delivery risk, and improving transparency for executive stakeholders — including leading migrations from mainframe to Google Cloud and managing portfolios worth $3M–$8M annually. I improve operational efficiency through SAFe, Kaizen and standardized PMO practices, and I mentor teams to raise delivery capability.
I combine hands-on technical understanding (cloud, APIs, data migration, virtualization) with financial governance and change management to drive measurable ROI and seamless client onboarding. I seek opportunities to apply my cross-functional leadership to strategic technology transformations for large enterprises.
