About
I have 15 years experience in project management, which consists of managing and implementing engineering, information technology, and cyber security projects. In these projects, I have a track record of thriving and delivering through relationship building and collaboration while being normally immersed in organizations with cross-functional teams that need projects delivered in multiple phases.
I am a listener first and a doer second. I want to understand the details and ask probing questions to identify risks and dependencies and work towards meaningful improvements for my clients and customers.
I'd love to connect with those who thrive in program management, project management, and strategy.
