What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Senior IT Project Manager / Technology Delivery initiatives focused on governance, digital transformation, reliable application operations, and cross-functional execution—supporting adoption, UAT, release readiness, and continuous improvement across global markets.

I’m an ITIL V5 certified technology delivery and IT project management professional with 20+ years of experience across APJ regional operations, enterprise application governance, service transition, and cross-functional delivery. I focus on stakeholder management, operational governance, and dependable go-live readiness for enterprise platforms.

In my recent role, I led APJ business-side delivery and operational governance for enterprise pricing and product lifecycle applications, supporting 1,400+ users and 300+ power users. I coordinated UAT, release coordination, access governance, go-live readiness, and post-production stabilization, including a one-year phased migration from legacy desktop workflows to a modern web-based portal—gathering requirements, mapping processes in Miro, shaping functional user stories, and managing backlog refinement through Azure DevOps.

Earlier in my career, I led service transition and governance activities, including Type B transitions, SOW and SLA preparation, KPI definition, RACI mapping, operational readiness, and knowledge transfer. I’ve also driven incident and change/release coordination with business, development, infrastructure, security, and support teams, while leading and coaching teams to improve delivery outcomes.
