About

Professional summary

I am a Project Manager with more than six years of experience delivering technology, finance, operations, process improvement, and business transformation initiatives in global organizations.

I lead end-to-end implementations and cross-functional programs spanning business, technology, data, quality assurance, infrastructure, risk, and finance. I translate business needs into clear plans, requirements, milestones, dependencies, and delivery approaches.

I have extensive experience in process optimization, continuous improvement, automation, governance, controls, and operational efficiency within complex and highly regulated environments. I use Lean, Six Sigma, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, and SDLC practices to improve outcomes.

I manage project scope, schedules, budgets, risks, issues, stakeholder communications, executive reporting, testing readiness, approvals, deployments, and stabilization activities. I am comfortable coordinating SIT, UAT, defect management, change requests, and production go-lives.

I have worked with organizations including Citi, Workday, Experian, Intel, and Amazon, leading finance transformation, enterprise application onboarding, control implementation, process migration, and system delivery initiatives across North America and Latin America.

I bring a strong combination of project delivery, financial operations, stakeholder management, and analytical skills, supported by PMP, Agile Scrum Master, MBA, and Six Sigma Green Belt credentials.
