About

I’m Vijay Sridhar, an IT Project Management leader with 18 years of experience delivering multimillion-dollar programs across global enterprise environments. I specialize in cross-functional team leadership and scalable software/infrastructure rollouts using Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe), with a strong focus on risk assessment, dependency management, and governance to keep delivery predictable.

Across my career, I’ve led major initiatives in cybersecurity, fintech integrations, and cloud transformation—driving outcomes like cutting critical defects by 40%, improving delivery cadence by 30%, and recovering failing release programs within two quarters. I’m also hands-on with budgeting, resource planning, vendor management, and executive stakeholder engagement, and I’ve built KPI dashboards aligned to resilience and compliance needs such as DORA principles and NIS2/ISO 27001 readiness.
