LinkedIn AboutI’m a Senior Program and Operations Leader with 20+ years of experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives across technology, digital, design, governance, and enterprise operations.My strength lies in bringing structure to ambiguity—turning strategic priorities into executable programs, building effective governance, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring teams and partners remain focused on measurable business outcomes.Over the course of my career, I have worked across enterprise environments managing global teams, strategic vendors, budgets, operating models, and transformation initiatives. At Walmart, I led Design Program Management and Design Operations initiatives supporting an International UX organization, with a strong focus on portfolio governance, vendor management, financial planning, tools and compliance, operational efficiency, and cross-functional execution.Earlier in my career, I worked with large technology and consulting environments, including the Deloitte account at Happiest Minds, where I was responsible for managing a large delivery organization and significant client operations. I have also been involved in building and running businesses, giving me a practical understanding of both enterprise execution and entrepreneurial decision-making.I particularly enjoy solving problems where there isn't an obvious playbook—whether that means improving an operating model, recovering a complex program, establishing governance, optimizing vendor relationships, managing competing priorities, or bringing multiple teams together around a common outcome.My core areas of expertise include:• Strategic Program Management• Enterprise & Digital Transformation• Program & Portfolio Governance• Design Operations• Vendor & Partner Management• Financial & Budget Management• Operating Model & Process Optimization• Risk, Compliance & Controls• Cross-functional & Global Stakeholder Management• Executive Reporting & Decision SupportI’m currently interested in senior opportunities across Strategic Program Management, Enterprise Operations, Transformation, and Vendor Management, where I can combine strategy, execution, governance, and people leadership to deliver meaningful business outcomes.I believe great program leadership is ultimately about one thing: creating clarity, enabling better decisions, and consistently turning strategy into results.
