I was originally hired to lead the freshly started PMO to apply Project management best practices and governances. However, after only a few short months, I quickly exceeded the expectations of the organization and was promoted.Moving away from simply running what was built as originally intended, I identified key and strategic areas of opportunity and attacked the root problems with tenacity and GRIT. I hired an entirely new group of Project Management Professionals to create a highly productive and performant team. The PMO was quickly recognized as change agents in the organization. We accomplished this by creating a team culture to win. We drove excellence in all teams and projects we lead. We made decisions, led initiatives, and made impacts on company culture.
