What I'm looking for
Hands-on operations leader with a deep understanding of software delivery, compliance, and the people that make it all work.

From global audits to tactical fixes, I’m at my best where detail meets delivery.
Throughout my career, I have made significant contributions to release management, team development, and strategic process improvements. I have successfully led initiatives that enhanced team retention and streamlined operations across cross-functional teams. My role as a primary liaison for audits has equipped me with the knowledge to navigate complex regulatory requirements while ensuring that our processes meet the highest standards.
In addition to my operational expertise, I have a proven track record in managing high-value projects and driving innovation. I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous improvement and am always looking for ways to enhance efficiency and effectiveness within my teams. I believe that the key to success lies in building strong relationships and empowering individuals to excel in their roles.
