About

I turn organizational complexity into clear execution paths. As a program manager with an engineering foundation, I bring first-principles thinking to strategic initiatives, helping teams navigate dependencies and competing priorities to deliver measurable results. My career spans professional services, software development, and program management, where I've led cross-functional teams through challenging transformations.

Throughout my journey, I've discovered that the most successful initiatives aren't just about managing tasks or timelines, they're about understanding the interconnected systems and processes that drive organizational behavior. I excel at mobilizing progress by identifying the critical path through competing priorities, translating vision into actionable roadmaps, and building the collaborative frameworks that turn individual efforts into collective momentum. ➽ My superpower: Bringing clarity from complexity, direction from ambiguity. Finding the win-win. ➽ My passion: Advancing organizational capabilit
