About

Professional summary

I am a product and technical delivery leader specializing in enterprise AI, cloud platforms, data and analytics, and workflow modernization. I translate complex business, operational, and technical needs into governed product strategies, implementation roadmaps, and measurable delivery outcomes.

I lead cross-functional programs that span product, engineering, security, legal, procurement, operations, vendors, and executive stakeholders. My work includes enterprise AI enablement, creative technology, cloud modernization, automation, data architecture, and service operating model design.

I have hands-on experience establishing governance for generative AI, digital asset management, content operations, analytics, and model-enabled workflows. I build practical controls, adoption measurement frameworks, readiness processes, and scalable support models that help organizations deploy technology responsibly.

My technical background includes AWS, IBM Cloud, SQL, Python, ETL/ELT, APIs, Docker, BI platforms, cloud infrastructure, and edge-to-cloud systems. I combine this technical foundation with product ownership, Agile delivery, Lean process improvement, and vendor-management expertise.

I have delivered initiatives in airline, healthcare, AI advisory, industrial IoT, and supply-chain environments. I am particularly effective at leading ambiguous, multi-vendor programs from discovery and scope definition through pilot delivery, operational handoff, and continuous improvement.
