Project Management

Project Management Experience

Delivering Complex Projects, Programs, and Business Transformations for Over 30 Years

Successful projects require more than schedules and status reports. They require leadership, stakeholder engagement, business understanding, and the ability to bring diverse teams together to achieve a common goal.

I am a Project Management Professional (PMP) with more than 30 years of experience leading technology, infrastructure, operational improvement, and business transformation initiatives across government, healthcare, banking, insurance, utilities, manufacturing, and professional services organizations.

My experience spans projects ranging from departmental process improvements to multi-billion-dollar mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and technology modernization programs. I have successfully managed initiatives involving cloud migrations, data center consolidations, enterprise software implementations, business process redesign, cybersecurity remediation, IT service management, and large-scale infrastructure deployments.

Throughout my career, I have worked effectively with stakeholders at every level of an organization—from executive leadership and board members to technical teams, operational managers, and end users.
