What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a program-management role where I can lead global, cross-functional initiatives, apply Agile and data-driven decision-making to improve efficiency, accuracy, and cost outcomes, and grow teams through strong talent development and leadership.

I’m a results-driven Program Manager and PMP-certified leader with 7+ years at Amazon, where I’ve led large-scale global programs across 21 markets and 6 ML models. I specialize in aligning engineering, operations, and business units around measurable outcomes using Agile methodologies and data-driven decision-making.

I’ve driven significant business impact—delivering $143K in OPEX savings, $188M in revenue generated, and 63% project efficiency gains. I also reduced turnaround time by 50% by streamlining multi-region compliance workflows and eliminating manual tracking through automation and improved validation processes.

I’m deeply hands-on with program execution for ML-driven initiatives, including ground-truth validation workflows and dataset refinement that increased ML model accuracy by 17% (from 67% to 84%) within two quarters. I’ve led root-cause analysis of ~50 complex catalog data tickets daily to eliminate false gaps across diverse market structures.

I also bring strong people leadership and vendor management experience, including directly managing and scaling a cross-functional team of 20 contributors. I’ve renegotiated contracts with 3 audit outsourcing vendors to achieve 18% OPEX reduction, improved delivery performance, increased SLA compliance, and accelerated scalability through rapid process pilots.
