LexmarkStrategic Initiatives Manager
Jan. 2022 - Dec. 2023Lexington, Kentucky, United StatesProgram & Portfolio Management – PMO | Process Improvement | Product Operationalization I am an agile leader and decisive thinker executing crucial technology advancements, exploring new application development, and furthering business goals by improving existing strategies. In addition, I prudently monitor the $12M budget performance, collaborating with the budget management department, preparing annual budgets, and tightening financial controls through financial planning and analysis. As a group portfolio manager, I direct program management, product operationalization, shared services, and cross-functional collaboration between multifaceted business units. I also ensure new go-to-market products undergo rapid prototyping of models with engaged business partners, integrating data into operational systems and employing prescriptive actions with minimal human intervention. I drive initiatives to build requirements for adherence to P&L reporting and ASE 606 (revenue recognition). I also oversee the Scrum Master and Technical Writer, leading SAFe Agile development for multiple teams and delivering all product documentation. I manage proofs of concept (POC) and proofs of value (POV) for customer engagement and internal technology deployments. Additionally, I lead a foundational program in cloud-first portfolio digital transformation, including infrastructure, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). By cultivating, aligning, and motivating end-to-end cross-functional teams, I optimize program performance and uncover inefficiencies, building operational and technology infrastructure.
