About

Professional summary

I am a change management, enablement, strategic communications, and program operations leader with more than 10 years of experience helping global organizations translate major decisions into everyday adoption.

I have supported enterprise rollouts, technology transitions, executive communications, and global partner programs at ServiceNow and Red Hat. I turn complex initiatives into clear plans, practical resources, and repeatable operating models.

I bring structure to cross-functional work through governance, stakeholder engagement, operational readiness, intake processes, and communications planning. My approach combines Prosci and ADKAR change practices with practical enablement and adoption strategies.

I use data to guide decisions, including Power BI, Tableau, training dashboards, and feedback tools. I also apply AI-assisted workflows with tools such as Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to accelerate analysis and content development while maintaining quality.

I am a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner with an MA in Integrated Marketing Communications. My experience includes executive messaging, partner enablement, knowledge management, workshop facilitation, digital program management, and global rollout communications.
