What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic IT transformation and portfolio initiatives where I can strengthen governance, optimize investment and resources, and deliver measurable customer and business outcomes across global teams.

At Microland, I lead strategic project portfolios across APAC and EMEA, aligning delivery priorities to business outcomes while overseeing 60+ resources and six direct reports. I optimized a $10M+ portfolio, expanded opportunities across a €17M business landscape, and improved resource utilization from 62% to 84%.

Previously, I managed 10+ concurrent programs spanning Network Services, IT Infrastructure, Finance Transformation, AIOps, and Digital Transformation. My work has reduced manual effort by 30%, cut delivery costs by 15%, reduced critical program risks by 35%, and achieved 98% customer satisfaction.

I've delivered data-center consolidation, cloud migration, workplace modernization, and global infrastructure programs, including managing $100M+ budgets at Hewlett Packard Global Soft. I bring PMP, CSM, CSPO, and ITIL credentials to governance-led Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery.
