Program Manager at Ingram Micro leading B2B platform modernization and migration of 200+ vendor accounts.

At Ingram Micro, I lead program delivery for B2B platform modernization, including migrating 200+ global vendor accounts to a new pricing engine and moving 400+ services and 800 API endpoints to a new middleware tool. I also lead three Agile teams within a SAFe ART and work with business stakeholders on the B2B mobile app user-growth program.

At Verizon India, I led a five-swimlane Service Assurance modernization from inception to rollout, helping replace a legacy platform with a customer-centric architecture. I drove an Agile-to-SAFe transformation, provided offshore ART oversight, and led monthly major releases for Network Systems.

At Treselle Systems, I led Big Data and microservices projects and helped move a team from Waterfall to Agile. I worked with C-suite leadership to resolve a client’s 200% refund escalation, which was withdrawn, and a revised resource strategy cut 21% of estimated project cost. Earlier, at Cogzidel Technologies, I led a 25-member multidisciplinary team and owned delivery across projects and releases.
