As part of my role, I was responsible for managing our strategic enterprise portfolio, working closely with cross-functional teams including executive leadership and project-level stakeholders. Together, we delivered large-scale change and initiatives across the company. To ensure success, I built a comprehensive resourcing matrix that helped guide strategic prioritization of new initiatives. This approach ensured that all initiatives were well-supported and able to scale appropriately. I also utilized standard portfolio and program management processes and tools to assess status, provide recommendations to executive leadership, and execute course corrections. Through this comprehensive approach, we were able to successfully deliver a wide range of initiatives and drive positive change throughout the organization.

I spearheaded a team of experts from different departments to develop and implement a strategic plan for the successful launch of new stations across the Southwest network. As the Sr. Project Manager of this cross-functional team, my role involved coordinating and overseeing every aspect of the project, from the initial planning stages to the final execution and rollout of the new stations. Together, we worked to ensure that each station was equipped with the necessary resources, personnel, and infrastructure to meet the needs of our customers and support the continued growth of the network.

I was responsible for managing the Operations Portfolio and ensuring that it aligned with the 5-year Operational Strategic Plan. This involved overseeing cross-departmental initiatives and capability planning. In addition to that, I acted as a business partner to multiple operational teams, working closely with cross-functional project teams across the company, including Technology, FP&A, Commercial, Customer, and Enterprise Management. One of my key responsibilities was to lead the development of our departmental strategic planning framework in partnership with executive leadership and department planners. This allowed us to ensure that all key initiatives and capabilities were reflected in our departmental plans.
