What I'm looking for

I seek senior program/project roles in collaborative, matrixed organizations focused on enterprise IT or healthcare transformations, with opportunities for leadership, cross-functional delivery, and measurable impact.

I am a seasoned Senior Program and Project Manager with 20+ years delivering enterprise IT, healthcare, financial, HR and compliance programs in matrixed organizations. I specialize in Agile, SAFe and Waterfall methodologies, technical change management, cybersecurity projects, and stakeholder alignment, and I am proficient in tools like Jira, Confluence and MS Project to manage complex delivery timelines and dependencies.

I have led multi-workstream initiatives across healthcare and retail—driving AML compliance, self-checkout rollouts, Salesforce integrations, and enterprise change controls—while coaching teams, mitigating risk, and delivering high-impact programs under compressed schedules.
