What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for strategic growth.

I am a strategic leader with extensive experience in program operations and business development, particularly in high-risk regions. My career has been marked by a proven ability to drive complex initiatives, streamline systems, and deliver results that exceed expectations. I have successfully secured over $600M in contract awards by leading capture strategies for more than 35 bids, negotiating partnerships, and implementing pricing models that enhance cost-efficiency.

Throughout my tenure at Tetra Tech, I progressed through six increasingly senior roles, culminating in my current position as Practice Lead, overseeing a $160M market portfolio. I have led the delivery of nine concurrent international projects, managing a diverse team of over 120 staff while ensuring 100% audit compliance. My expertise in financial forecasting and operational planning has enabled me to maintain budget accuracy within a 10% variance across more than 100 projects, significantly informing strategic decisions.
