About

I’m a seasoned project and program manager with over 17 years of experience helping companies streamline operations and execute complex projects. I’ve spent my career leading cross-functional teams, improving processes, and implementing tools that make work easier for everyone involved. Whether it’s launching new systems, automating workflows, or managing high-visibility projects, I love finding ways to make things run smoother and more efficiently. Throughout my career, I’ve led everything from global product launches to operational transformations. I enjoy getting into the details while keeping an eye on the bigger picture, making sure that every project I manage not only meets its goals but also supports long-term business growth.
