What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote-first program leadership role where I can govern multi-contract portfolios, manage P&L and workforce planning, and drive measurable operational/digital transformation in regulated environments.

I’m a PMP-certified Program Manager with 4 years of direct PM and functional management experience and 10+ years of total professional background leading multi-contract federal programs. I drive operational transformation while maintaining full program governance, budget oversight, and stakeholder alignment across high-compliance environments.

In my recent role, I directed a $7M+ federal program portfolio of 9 concurrent engagements and achieved 96% on-time delivery—contributing directly to $5M in contract expansions, renewals, and client retention. I’ve led cross-functional teams of 25+ and served as a functional manager with full HR accountability, including hiring, performance reviews, PIPs, and career development.

My specialty is building scalable delivery and risk systems: I implemented a structured risk governance framework to reduce portfolio risk exposure by 20–30% and redesigned cross-program workflows to deliver a 65% operational efficiency gain. I’m at my best in remote-first, distributed teams using Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid frameworks, especially when supporting DHS Section 508 and mission-critical federal deliverables.
