What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise PMO and portfolio delivery—especially M&A integrations and digital transformation—where I can align business and IT, govern KPIs, and drive measurable operational and growth outcomes through servant leadership and data-driven decisions.

I’m a proven leader in program, project, and product management, with deep expertise in enterprise PMO development, M&A integration leadership, digital transformation, and product lifecycle management. I’m known for aligning cross-functional teams with corporate strategy and making data-driven decisions that improve outcomes.

Recently at Sedano’s, I established an Enterprise PMO to govern and deliver a major M&A integration, defining enterprise ways of working across business and IT. I directed concurrent workstreams spanning operations, technology, supply chain, finance, and HR, delivered integration solutions (ERP, POS, and digital commerce), and led portfolio governance with KPI reporting to executives.

Earlier, I led a $10MM+ program portfolio at Kroger’s Technology Division, driving cloud migrations, infrastructure upgrades, software delivery, and AI/ML initiatives. I’ve also built and scaled product teams—growing portfolio sales from $20MM to $40MM—while improving cost structure, quality, and go-to-market performance through servant leadership and continuous process improvement.
