About

I am a Transformation Program Leader with 20+ years of experience in telecom OSS/BSS, delivering multi-million-dollar digital transformation programs and building high-performing international teams. I excel at applying Agile/SAFe and QA best practices to drive operational excellence, accelerate go-lives, and deliver measurable business impact. I partner with clients across global markets to tailor solutions that meet strategic goals, while maintaining a focus on governance, transparency, and customer success.

I thrive in high-stakes environments with senior stakeholders, collaborating with clients like AT&T, BT, Vodafone, PLDT, and major banks. My approach blends strategic planning with hands-on delivery—aligning roadmaps, managing risks, and continuously improving processes to boost release predictability and quality. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clear actions, empowering teams to perform at their best and delivering consistently strong outcomes.
