Technology leader with a passion for innovation and team excellence
I am a senior technology leader with over 15 years of experience delivering multi-million-dollar programs, cross-functional initiatives, and enterprise software solutions. My expertise spans strategic planning, stakeholder alignment, and on-time, on-budget execution.
I combine deep technical expertise with program governance, risk mitigation, and team leadership to drive innovation, operational efficiency, and measurable business impact across diverse industries.
