I’m a senior leader with 25 years of experience managing PMOs and driving value across health plan functions. I build high-performing teams focused on accountability, transparency, and innovation. Recently, I led an EPMO and governance model overseeing a $42M portfolio and $9M sustainment budget, reducing project delivery variance by 18% and cutting PMO expenses by 16%. I’m now seeking a Director or VP role to drive business objectives by developing people, processes, and tools for impactful change.
