Role: Program Manager | Senior PMO Leader | Project Management Advisor
Overview
Over 20+ years in corporate technology and delivery leadership, I have led complex digital transformation, cloud migration and technology programs involving globally distributed teams, multiple stakeholders and significant business outcomes.
My experience spans program management, PMO governance, stakeholder leadership, delivery strategy, financial management, risk management and team leadership.
Leadership at Scale
Led multi-year digital transformation and cloud migration programs valued at $15M+
Managed globally distributed cross-functional teams of 60+ FTE across development, QA, data migration and integrations
Worked across Fixed Bid, Time & Material and Staff Augmentation delivery models
Partnered with customers, vendors, investors and C-level executives to align delivery with business objectives
Led teams and stakeholders across the US, UK, Taiwan and the Netherlands
PMO & Program Governance
I established and strengthened PMO governance frameworks focused on:
Delivery quality and project management standards
Resource allocation and utilisation
Project health and performance tracking
Risk, issue and escalation management
Financial tracking and forecasting
Executive reporting and stakeholder visibility
Continuous process improvement
I also led periodic project management audits and supported pre-sales and solutioning activities, including RFP responses, delivery strategies, estimations and project plans.
Turning Data Into Better Decisions
One of the key improvements I drove was the standardisation of project performance tracking through automated dashboards providing real-time visibility into:
Earned Value | Defect Rates | KPIs | Project Health
This strengthened lifecycle control and enabled proactive intervention, contributing to a 20% reduction in cost overruns.
A Career Highlight
I led the end-to-end configuration and deployment of Salesforce PaaS for the Healthcare Enforcement and Licensing Modernization Solution (HELMS) for Washington State's Department of Health.
The program involved 60+ global team members and delivered $11M in revenue.
Leadership Philosophy
Large transformation programs succeed through more than technology.
They require clarity of purpose, disciplined execution, stakeholder alignment, strong communication and leaders who can bring diverse teams together around a common outcome.
My approach combines structured program management with practical, human-centered leadership.
