Drove digital transformation with technology and business fluency, ensuring that automation was built on a solid foundation of process discipline and efficiency. Crafted effective change and risk management plans to implement leaders’ vision, phasing initiatives to provide maximum value and speed. Key efforts have included:• In response to efficiency and regulatory concerns, launched and coached an Agile scrum team through streamlining, delegating, and automating key processes. Collaborated with team members to prioritize processes; identify workflow and process automation solutions; and manage multiple implementation teams to ensure requirements were met. As a result, more work could be delegated to our India partners, and cycle times and errors were significantly reduced.• A technology delivery team was struggling with customer dissatisfaction due to slow delivery. Transitioned the team to Agile Kanban methodology to help team members more quickly identify roadblocks, accelerate delivery, and manage more frequent releases. With the efficiencies gained they were able to redeploy some of their team members to focus on other work while still meeting customer’s needs.• A web development team adopted the Agile scrum approach, but they weren’t seeing significant improvements. After coaching them on ways to foster better collaboration and increase transparency with their business partners, the combined team began providing regular demos, cleaned up the product backlog, and were soon delivering value at a significantly faster pace. • Managed a multi-year effort to roll out a more modern web content management system, including software selection, contract negotiation, and implementation. The biggest challenge was building trust between business and technology partners as interactions had historically been tense among leadership. After the rollout, teams were excited to explore the new technology and were able to accelerate delivery of new web content and features.
