About
I am a PMP-certified Senior Project Management Professional and IT Leader with 19 years of international experience directing large-scale, complex technology portfolios across the US, Europe, and the GCC. I have a proven track record of managing all aspects of the project lifecycle, including scope definition, schedule acceleration, cost optimization, and rigorous quality management. I am a masterful cross-functional communicator skilled at engaging senior stakeholders, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, and guiding global onshore/offshore teams toward rapid, high-quality project delivery.
I excel at risk mitigation, RAID/RACI governance, and ensuring business continuity through structured delivery and continuous improvement. I thrive in fast-paced environments, align stakeholder expectations, and drive cross-departmental collaboration to accelerate program outcomes.
