I enjoy thinking creatively, critically, and collaboratively to solve problems and drive value. I believe in transparent communication and take pride in my ability to be detail-oriented while thinking about the bigger picture.

I leverage my 14+ years of experience in IT advisory services and management consulting, spanning across artificial intelligence and machine learning, infrastructure and operations, digital product delivery, cloud and data migrations, and SaaS implementations to help clients overcome complex challenges and achieve ambitious goals. From a delivery perspective, I specialize in engagement management, process and continuous improvement, large-scale program governance, infrastructure resilience, and customer success. From a business development perspective, I've successfully managed a multimillion-dollar annual book of business comprised of multiple accounts across multiple sectors, forging strong and lasting client relationships in the process.
