I’m a seasoned program manager with over 13 years of diverse experience within the Department of Defense. I have a rich background in supply chain, acquisitions program, and financial management. I also have experience in contracts, logistics, and operations. Having served as an Officer in the US Navy I’ve managed cross-functional teams, having led over 90 people in high stakes, global environments to meet national strategic objectives. Further, my experience extends to financial management of billion-dollar acquisition programs that met objectives in strict fiscal situations. Now, equipped with an MBA from UCLA Anderson, I’m eager to transition into the private sector, in a program manger or supply chain management role.
