Work Background
WorkdayDigital and Technical Project Manager
Jan. 2022My professional mission is to serve as a force multiplier, creating a demonstrably safe and productive environment where high-quality, insightful work can thrive. I help teams collaborate while advocating for strategic alignment and operational excellence in complex technical environments.
I’ve been in technology for 40 years - first as a technologist, now as a technical project manager. My transition from web engineering to technical project management was a deliberate move to apply deep-seated technical knowledge to the art of delivery, process optimization, change management and team enablement.
With a decade of experience within the Workday ecosystem (beginning with Adaptive Insights in 2015), I have a deep understanding of our culture, products, and strategic objectives.
