At Amazon, I led high-impact global and regional programs for Stores Talent Acquisition, coordinating stakeholders across APAC and multiple international teams. I focused on improving project visibility, launch readiness, candidate experience, operational efficiency, and cross-functional collaboration.

I have delivered measurable business outcomes through dashboard implementation, recruiting-system launches, cost optimization, workflow automation, and continuous-improvement programs. My work includes saving approximately 21 FTEs through system launches and achieving approximately USD 1 million in third-party assessment-platform cost savings.

I am certified in SAFe Product Ownership/Product Management and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt practices, with PMP training. I use structured program management, Agile principles, data-driven decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and risk management to deliver complex initiatives successfully.

Earlier in my career, I worked in software quality assurance and test automation at Accenture. This technical foundation helps me bridge business, product, operational, and technology teams while designing scalable solutions and driving sustainable process improvements.
