Project Management
With over 15 years of proven success driving business value, I provide certified Project Management leadership to help your organization execute complex initiatives from inception to completion. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I blend industry best practices with Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies to tailor execution to your unique company goals.
My approach goes beyond simply tracking tasks; I focus on strategic leadership, creative problem-solving, and building the necessary stakeholder trust to ensure project success
Core Project Management Capabilities:
Leading Cross-Functional Teams: I excel at uniting diverse, highly matrixed groups. Whether managing global offshore developers, coordinating hardware vendors and local contractors for physical retail pilots, or aligning technical and operations teams, I ensure all groups are moving toward a unified vision.
Rapid Onboarding & Execution: I thrive in complex environments and am highly skilled at coming up to speed quickly on new technologies and in-flight projects. Whether stepping into a highly technical Business Intelligence project and rapidly learning new database queries, or taking over a multi-year University HR centralization program mid-stream, I quickly evaluate existing charters, identify success criteria, and keep deliverables on track.
Strategic Leadership: I bring a strong, collaborative mindset to every engagement, specializing in setting a clear product vision, mitigating risks, resolving conflicts, and establishing long-standing partnerships with key stakeholders.
Business Analysis
With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in bridging the gap between high-level business strategy and technical execution. As a seasoned Business Analyst, I excel at researching complex problems, analyzing data, and defining requirements that drive tangible business value from reducing process times to saving millions of dollars. I leverage strong analytical thinking and a collaborative mindset to ensure technical solutions perfectly align with your company's unique goals.
Core Business Analysis Capabilities:
Requirements Gathering & Agile Execution: I am highly skilled at translating stakeholder needs into actionable technical requirements, Epics, and user stories using Agile methodologies. Whether writing pseudo-code and mapping complex data for new recruiting data warehouse tables or managing a product backlog in Jira, I ensure development teams have exactly what they need to succeed.
Process Improvement & Risk Mitigation: I actively look for ways to optimize operations. By facilitating Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), I have successfully identified root causes of system bottlenecks, reducing a critical month-end reporting cycle from 5 days to just 2 days, and building crucial fail-safes into custom development projects.
UX Research & Prototyping: I combine analytical rigor with a strong focus on the end-user. My expertise includes conducting competitive benchmarking, directing usability studies, and developing interactive wireframes and prototypes using Axure RP to facilitate stakeholder feedback before development even begins
Business Process Improvement
Scaling a business requires workflows that are efficient, repeatable, and measurable. Drawing on 15+ years of experience, I provide expert Process Improvement services designed to eliminate operational friction and drive tangible ROI. From untangling messy data pipelines to standardizing complex operational hand-offs, I help your teams work smarter, not harder.
Identifying Inefficiencies: Proven ability to lead deep-dive analytical exercises, such as FMEA, to uncover the root causes of process delays and system vulnerabilities.
Building Scalable Workflows: Expertise in mapping "as-is" and "to-be" processes, and establishing repeatable intake tools, reusable project templates, and standardized procedures that drastically reduce manual effort.
Measuring Success: Skilled at establishing Service Level Agreements (SLAs), operational KPIs, and performance dashboards that provide critical visibility into operational health and highlight areas for ongoing improvement.
