Over the past 10+ years I've directed AWS and Azure transformation programs worth up to $20M in contract value, running 3-4 concurrent workstreams at a time and leading blended teams of up to 28 direct staff, 20 matrixed resources and 20 third-party vendors across the US, EMEA and APAC. What I bring to a program: 🔹 Zero business disruption at cutover across every multi-tower, multi-geography migration I've run 🔹 100% on-time, on-budget delivery track record 🔹 $1.8M in annual savings identified through right-sizing, decommissioning and FinOps reporting 🔹 Architecture governance discipline — design authority reviews, HLD/LLD documentation, reusable reference patterns 🔹 ISO 27001 and HIPAA-aligned delivery for regulated environments I've held progressively senior delivery roles at Trianz, Coforge, 3M ANSR, Eminence Techno Systems, HCL Technologies and Accenture — spanning data center consolidation, hybrid cloud enablement, EUC/Citrix modernization, and large-scale infrastructure transitions.
