A technology leader skilled in leading complex projects, improving processes, and building exceptional teams. My expertise includes leveraging innovation and empowering employees to build sustainable technical foundations and turn around underperforming processes.As the Director of Engineering at Ascend, I transformed a team of 35 engineering managers, product engineers, SDET's and Site reliability engineers into an organized and sustainable product development team. In this role, I led the efforts to evolve the company’s platform from a single tenant solution to a multi-tenant Cloud-native solution, ultimately supporting the company to become a true SaaS organization.Prior to this role, I led three cross-functional engineering teams delivering complex projects supporting over 20K end users as the Director of Engineering at Moz. Most notably, I transformed company operations to boost productivity, ultimately standardizing engineering practices to enable a CI/CD DevOps approach. Blending technical expertise and leadership experience has been a consistent narrative throughout my career. I have managed mission-critical and multi-million-dollar projects while working for Fidelity Investments, developed an enterprise multi-tier application for XPO Logistics, and built a suite of AWS Cloud-based services at Nordstrom. To lead transformation, manage change, and turnaround underperforming processes and projects, I am focused on building and empowering high-performing teams. With a servant leadership style, I focus on coaching and mentoring employees to help them find value in their work, continuously grow, and execute organizational vision and goals.Specialties:► Organizational Leadership► Technology Optimization► Continuous Process Improvement► New Product Development & Delivery► Quality Assurance► Project Turnarounds & Transformation► Coaching, Mentoring & Empowering Teams
