About

Professional summary

I am a Senior IT Project Manager with 7+ years of hands-on ownership of end-to-end delivery in enterprise environments, and more than 20 years of experience in IT across banking, energy and utilities, automotive, healthcare, travel, telecommunications, and digital platforms.

I specialize in leading multi-team initiatives in Agile, SAFe, and hybrid delivery models, with a strong focus on scope, risk, dependencies, governance, and stakeholder alignment. I work comfortably in regulated contexts where delivery transparency, control, and predictable execution are essential.

My background as a software engineer gives me a technical foundation that helps me collaborate credibly with engineering, QA, and DevOps teams. I am used to translating business and product needs into actionable delivery plans, managing release readiness, and keeping execution aligned with roadmap commitments.

In recent roles, I have led release governance for a regulated mobile banking platform, coordinated cross-functional teams, and improved delivery predictability through structured planning, reporting, and dependency management. I have also contributed to backlog prioritization, PI planning, sprint ceremonies, and operational improvements that reduced support requests and improved throughput.

I have worked with enterprise tools and delivery ecosystems such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, MS Project, Power BI, Git, Jenkins, Bitbucket, AWS, and Azure. I also use automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve coordination, reporting, and decision-making.

I am open to remote or hybrid roles and relocation, and I bring a combination of delivery leadership, technical understanding, and calm execution under pressure. I value clear communication, accountability, and building reliable delivery systems that help teams perform at their best.
