Who I Am
Governance that turns ambiguity into delivery
I'm a senior project and PMO governance leader with 15+ years delivering complex initiatives across Tier-1 banks and global enterprises in hybrid Agile / Waterfall environments. My background spans AML, audit remediation, portfolio governance, and financial controls for high-risk, regulated programs.
I'm known for stabilizing interrelated workstreams, supporting senior-leader decision-making, and building governance practices that improve delivery, audit readiness, benefits realization, and investment-planning alignment across business and technology teams.
