About

Program Manager with 18+ years of experience delivering enterprise-scale programs across telecommunications, healthcare, life sciences, and regulated environments. My experience spans business analysis, quality engineering, Agile delivery, and program transformation, enabling me to bridge business strategy with technical execution and deliver predictable outcomes across globally distributed teams. I have led complex delivery initiatives involving governance, vendor management, release planning, compliance, and cross-functional collaboration, while establishing scalable operating models that improve delivery visibility and execution. Alongside my professional work, I actively build AI and data projects to deepen my understanding of modern technologies and strengthen my ability to lead AI-enabled programs and technical teams. I am interested in Program Management, Technical Program Management, Delivery Transformation, and Portfolio Leadership roles where technology, governance, and execution come together to deliver business value.
