I'm an enterprise transformation and technical program leader with a career spanning corporate technology, public-sector systems, supply chain, ERP and cloud modernization.

My work connects strategy with execution: aligning stakeholders, creating accountable delivery structures, navigating vendors and dependencies, and helping organizations move ambitious initiatives into operation.
