I am a best practice project and portfolio management specialist with 8+ years of experience managing large and diverse project and program portfolios both in the public and private sector. I deliver deliberate change through best practice implementations, governance, stakeholder involvement, organizational empowerment and by taking the effort to understand the issue before designing the solution.My knowledge of project, program and portfolio management is well-founded in Axelos best practice certifications. I combine this with a master's degree focused on the fields of organizational theory and management, operational planning and international politics.My background as a military officer compels me to take leadership, build unity of effort and focus on getting the job done. I’m an empathetic, intuitive and pragmatic person. I love people and technology and approach both with a great appetite for learning.
