Agile Strategist | Agile Delivery Leader
About Me
I am a Cross-functional Product Leader with over 10 years of experience bridging customer needs with scalable enterprise solutions. My career has been marked by a demonstrated success in delivering modern software products in Agile environments, including Scrum, SAFe, and Kanban. I have a strong focus on product strategy, stakeholder collaboration, and customer-centric innovation, which has allowed me to excel in my roles.
My expertise lies in user research, backlog prioritization, and continuous deployment frameworks. I have developed core competencies in Agile coaching, sprint planning and facilitation, and stakeholder engagement. I am adept at using Agile metrics and dashboards to drive product decisions and enhance visibility for executives.
In my current role as a Senior Scrum Lead at Boston Consulting Group, I translate enterprise goals into Agile product strategies and align OKRs with product roadmaps. I prioritize and deliver features that improve user satisfaction and request fulfillment speed. My collaborative approach ensures that engineering and UX teams are aligned in planning and execution.
Previously, I worked as a Senior Agile Coach at Verizon, where I partnered with business leaders to embed Agile practices across multiple software teams. My facilitation of workshops on backlog creation and iterative delivery has significantly increased product launch cadence.
I hold an MBA in Finance from Florida A&M University and various Agile certifications, including Certified Scrum Master and Certified Scrum Product Owner. My educational background, combined with my extensive experience, equips me to lead teams effectively and drive product success.
