I lead cloud service delivery and major incident response for global enterprise operations.
What I'm looking for
At Oracle Global, I owned end-to-end incident management for 150+ monthly incidents, led 15–20 P0/P1 responses each month, and improved MTTR by 10% and MTTA by 20%.
I've led cloud service delivery, major incident management, and global IT projects across Oracle, Ellucian Technology, DXC Technology, Flextronics, and Continental Automotive. My work spans Cloud/SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, ITIL change and problem management, SLA/KPI governance, executive reporting, vendor coordination, and 24/7 operational continuity across the USA, EMEA, and Asia.
