My catch phrase is taken from Lean Principles, “Optimize the Whole.” I coach teams to see the big picture, that it takes more than just the activities in a sprint do deliver effective solutions – I help teams manage their dependencies, governance and regulatory compliance, reporting and financials. My career evolution began when I moved from Accounting Operations to Business Analysis and Project Management. I gained hands-on Agile experience which I leveraged to both coach staff when I became a people manager and which I applied to Program Management.Career highlightsOver 5 Years of Program ManagementOver 10 Years of Business Analysis and Project ManagementOver 10 Years of applying and Coaching Agile practicesOver 10 Years of Managing PeopleManaged multi-million dollar programs comprising geographically dispersed teams using both Agile and Waterfall methodologiesAgile advocate for 10 years, managing and coaching teams and supporting Communities of Practice following a pragmatic approach focusing on the underlying Agile principlesExtensive financial services industry background having worked at top-tier financial services companies with projects ranging from institutional trade processing systems to the retail user experienceSuccessful at building relationships with people at all levels of the organization -from interns to executives- across business and technology functions, as well as extended internal partners and external customers Specialties: Program Management, Agile, Financial Services, People Management, Business Analysis, Project Management, Coaching, Budgets
