About

Professional summary

I am a technology program and product development leader with 10 years of experience delivering user-facing platforms, enterprise IT solutions, and products across financial services, technology, and media.

I lead full product lifecycles, from early concept and 0-to-1 development through launch, go-to-market distribution, iteration, and operational delivery. I use success metrics, KPI definition, and data-driven prioritization to connect execution with measurable business outcomes.

I have led complex cross-functional initiatives involving engineering, operations, compliance, vendors, producers, and external stakeholders. My experience includes Agile and Waterfall delivery, stakeholder management, budget control, process optimization, and technical program leadership.

In enterprise technology, I have managed cloud migration, data center consolidation, service catalog, infrastructure refresh, and application modernization programs. My work has contributed to $40M in annual savings, $1M in annual revenue, and services supporting 244,000 users.

I also bring entrepreneurial product experience through independent media production, where I have built and distributed professional audio products globally, coordinated production teams, and developed partnerships that generated more than 100 live performances.

I hold a BBA in Management Information Systems and a Six Sigma Green Belt certification, and I have completed the first-year curriculum of a Juris Doctor program. I bring a structured, outcome-oriented approach to delivering products and programs in complex environments.
