What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations or program leadership role where I can drive strategic alignment, operational excellence, and measurable impact in biotech or healthcare organizations.

I am a PMP-certified strategic operations and program management leader with 15+ years delivering complex programs in biotech, healthcare, and technology organizations. I specialize in building governance frameworks, translating enterprise strategy into measurable outcomes, and operating effectively in regulated, matrixed environments.

My career highlights include achieving fiscal accountability for a $750K budget and 15+ vendor contracts at Amgen, designing and launching the Mayo Clinic Quarterly Portfolio Review governance process, and building an analytics framework tracking 450+ KPIs to secure continued program funding for government healthcare initiatives. I consistently improve execution—raising on-time delivery to 99% and reducing onboarding time while coaching cross-functional teams.

I bring deep experience in strategic planning, portfolio management, change leadership, and regulatory affairs, paired with practical tool expertise (Workfront, SharePoint, Power BI, Tableau, JIRA, Aha!). I am motivated to drive strategic alignment, operational excellence, and measurable ROI for mission-driven organizations.
