Connecting strategy & execution
Connecting strategy & execution
I transform complex strategic initiatives into successful enterprise-wide projects, specializing in SaaS and technology. With an engineering background, MBA, and certifications in traditional and Agile methodologies, I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and emotional intelligence to high-stakes projects.
I thrive on bringing clarity to complex initiatives while building strong, collaborative teams. My approach combines strategic thinking with practical execution, ensuring projects deliver lasting value beyond just "on time and on budget."
