About

20+ Years of Enterprise Delivery

Most transformation programs don't fail because of bad technology. They fail because strategy, risk, and technology teams can't align. I navigate that chaos. I'm a PMP, CISA, PSM II, PMI-CPMAI, and Azure AI-900 certified Program and Portfolio Leader with 20+ years delivering complex, multi-million-dollar transformations across insurance and financial services.

At MetLife, I led IFRS17 modernization across 19 jurisdictions, aligning actuaries, finance teams, and technology under competing priorities — delivering 67% faster reporting and a 95% reduction in compliance findings. At PGIM, I eliminated 2,000+ manual processes by resolving data governance conflicts across HR, Finance, and Technology.

What sets me apart: I don't just manage programs. I see how strategy, risk, and technology connect across the organization and build the bridges that make alignment happen, so leadership can make better decisions, faster.

The hard part isn't the technology. It's aligning the humans.

Strategy, risk, and technology teams speak different languages, operate on different timelines, and answer to different stakeholders. When they pull in different directions, programs stall, costs escalate, and leadership loses confidence. My job is to build the alignment that makes execution possible — and to do it before the wheels come off.

What I Deliver

Four areas of expertise

These are the disciplines where I create the most measurable impact for organizations navigating complex, high-stakes change.

01
Enterprise Program Leadership
20+ programs shipped on time. I run cross-functional teams of 50–100 engineers, data scientists, and compliance professionals through complex, multi-year implementations — with governance frameworks that create accountability from executive sponsor to delivery team.
02
Regulatory & Risk Transformation
At MetLife, I led IFRS17 modernization across 19 jurisdictions, delivering 67% faster reporting and a 95% reduction in compliance findings. I align finance, actuarial, and technology stakeholders around a shared execution model — especially when they don't agree.
03
SaaS, Cloud & AI Modernization
At PGIM, I eliminated 2,000+ manual processes by leading enterprise SaaS deployment and resolving data governance conflicts across HR, Finance, and Technology. PMI-CPMAI and Azure AI-900 certified, with hands-on GenAI governance experience in regulated environments.
04
Visual Strategy & Executive Communication
I translate complex program landscapes into crisp, executive-ready visual models that drive decisions. Known for C-level presentations that make strategy, risk, and technology legible to the people who need to act — because alignment starts with clarity.
