I am a dynamic Senior IT Project Manager with 10+ years of experience delivering large-scale cloud migrations, IAM initiatives, and IT transformation programs in highly regulated environments. I excel in leading multi-stakeholder initiatives, aligning business and IT while navigating regulatory requirements (SOX, GxP, CSL), and turning underperforming teams into high-performing units through clarity, alignment, and trust. I enjoy coaching and mentoring to foster organizational development and people growth. In my career, I’ve consistently delivered projects on time, within scope and budget, and I’ve built a reputation for strong leadership, stakeholder management, and the ability to bridge business and IT in complex, global settings. I am passionate about continuous improvement, crisis and change management, and leveraging AI & automation to drive efficiency and value.
