My expertise lies in conducting maturity assessments, developing tailored strategies, and implementing process improvements that ensure compliance and drive cost savings. I have a proven track record of leading SAM tool implementations, conducting license reconciliations, and negotiating with vendors to achieve favorable outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully driven Software Asset Optimization initiatives across various clients, leveraging my strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. I stay updated with industry trends and best practices, allowing me to deliver innovative solutions that align with business objectives. My commitment to operational excellence and governance has resulted in significant cost reductions and enhanced compliance for my clients.
