What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a program/product leadership role where I can own delivery end-to-end, optimize processes, and drive operational efficiency using AI-enabled tool ecosystems—collaborating cross-functionally to deliver measurable outcomes.

I’m a Program and Product Management professional with 3+ years of experience, including 1 year of specialized work in Amazon’s FinOps PMO organization as a contractor Program Manager. I’m driven by ownership, delivery discipline, and improving how teams execute—especially through smarter tool ecosystems.

In my current Amazon role, I serve as a core part of the FinOps PMO Product Team, focusing on driving efficiency using AI and managing the organizational tool ecosystem. I lead the execution of the PMO roadmap, ensuring alignment to strategic FinOps PMO objectives while keeping delivery on track.

Previously, I directed end-to-end project management for large, complex modules within a PMO product suite—owning timelines, scope adherence, and stakeholder alignment. I also led full product & tool ownership for critical management tools (including Planview and Asana), improving reliability and enabling teams with clean configurations and trustworthy data.

I’ve also delivered impactful software and product outcomes as a Project Manager (Consultant) and Scrum Master, including building an advanced Online Dashboard System and managing agile execution. I enjoy bridging process rigor with technical execution, and I’m motivated by measurable results—like standardized PPM frameworks, improved operational consistency, and accelerated go-to-market delivery.
