NiSourceProgram / Project Management - Corporate Technology
Mar. 2019 - Feb. 2023Columbus, Ohio AreaDuring my time at NiSource, I've had the privilege to lead significant IT projects that spanned application development, SaaS initiatives, and critical infrastructure updates. These efforts weren't just about technology; they were about aligning our strategies with organizational goals and ensuring seamless integration across all business support groups, IT security, and external vendors.
One of the highlights was achieving a 11% improvement in project delivery efficiency through meticulous planning, scheduling, and resource management. Collaborating closely with C-suite executives, stakeholders, and subject matter experts, we ensured that every project not only met but exceeded business expectations and technological parameters. I oversaw projects from inception through to hypercare, managing budgets of up to $10 million while upholding stringent delivery standards in a highly regulated utility environment. Here are a few key accomplishments:
• Successfully led the deployment of 14 major projects over four years, including complex enterprise-wide initiatives that significantly enhanced operational efficiency across the company.
• Implemented a robust financial management system and other critical IT solutions, which streamlined business processes and ensured compliance with regulatory standards.
• Managed subprojects and workstreams across application development, user experience, training, and communications, delivering integrated solutions that drove tangible business outcomes.
