GOALS:

Move towards high-level organizational change management in the technology industry (mergers & acquisitions / market pivots / cloud migrations / etc.)

SUMMARY:

Over the course of my 20+ year career, I have established a reputation as an accomplished leader who is skilled at steering organizational change, program management, and product ownership to cultivate growth and maximize profitability. I am adept at building and leading high-caliber teams to exceed targets and encourage professional development at all levels. My expertise encompasses the full product and program management lifecycle, from requirements gathering to final delivery, ensuring on-time, on-budget, and on-target results. Additionally, I possess organizational change experience, particularly with mergers and acquisitions, and have technical proficiency in cloud architecture and automation.

A few highlights from my profile include:

Successfully designed and implemented a re-imagined program structure for PACCAR, restoring efficiency of a languishing $5M Solution Services Management program and delivering a year-long projected timeline in 6 months, saving almost $1M in engineering costs.
Demonstrated thought-leadership at Twitter while transforming the Product Launch team into Organizational Change Integration, and drove two of the initial projects which integrated critical tooling from a number of disparate teams into Professional Profiles and increased bot and policy enforcement efficiency by partnering with experts in Health, and Data Science.
Developed reusable custom Jira configurations and operational processes while building out the Highspot Engineering Operations team, simultaneously providing servant-leadership for four independent engineering teams with separate SaaS disciplines, creating a 400% increase in delivery of features and securing over $3M in annual contracts.
As part of a $40M company systems integration and process alignment program, pioneered an engineering knowledge center and cloud-migration best practices which supported Alaska Airlines becoming the first airline to achieve FCC certification of complete Maintenance & Engineering system alignment post-merger with Virgin America.
