Senior Technical Delivery Manager @ Kantar | Agile & Scrum | Accelerating Product Delivery & Team Performance | Aligning Technology & Business Goals

About

I am a Senior Technical Delivery Manager and Program Manager with 5+ years of experience delivering enterprise-scale digital products across both product and platform environments. I help organizations solve a critical challenge: delivering complex initiatives predictably at scale while keeping engineering execution aligned with business outcomes. I thrive in high-visibility programs where clarity, structure, and strong execution discipline are essential. I have driven delivery across 8+ cross-functional teams across engineering, DevOps, and product, and have successfully driven PI Planning for 4 Agile teams across 6 consecutive quarters. I bring hands-on expertise in Agile, Scrum, and SAFe, combined with a strong focus on data-driven delivery. Using Microsoft Azure DevOps and Easy Insights metrics, I have improved delivery predictability and sprint stability by ~25–30%, while maintaining backlog health at 5/5 for the majority of delivery cycles. I consistently track backlog readiness, sprint churn, and delivery trends to enable transparent, informed decision-making. My strengths include program planning, dependency and risk management, capacity planning, and stakeholder communication, working closely with senior leaders to provide clear delivery health and execution insights. Beyond execution, I have trained and coached 30+ professionals on Agile ways of working, helping teams adopt consistent practices and scale delivery governance. I am best suited for roles requiring end-to-end ownership of delivery, scaled Agile execution, and business-critical program leadership.
