Sanam Anwarali

I’m a PMP-certified Senior Project Manager with 8+ years leading cross-functional programs that reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and mitigate risk. I thrive on structured change control, stakeholder alignment, and governance frameworks that translate complexity into measurable operational excellence.

At AARP, I led an enterprise-wide vendor governance transformation, migrating 150+ contracts into a centralized compliance framework. By enforcing SLA compliance across cross-functional stakeholders, delivering executive-ready dashboards, and tightening contract risk analysis, I helped reduce risk exposure by 40% and achieve zero compliance violations, while enabling proactive vendor renegotiations and $180K annual cost avoidance.

Previously at Accenture, I directed operations optimization and HRIS-enabled process improvements for Fortune 500 environments. I restructured intake for 200+ monthly requests across multiple departments, implemented Workfront to remove bottlenecks, and improved turnaround time by 30% while raising stakeholder satisfaction by 25% through metrics-driven delivery.

As an independent consultant, I deliver project management for multi-vendor, concurrent engagements and run operations transformations that increase execution consistency and reduce delivery variability. I bring a blend of PMP, Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt rigor—so every initiative is measured, governed, and delivered with confidence.
