Program/Project Management

I have experience in both program management & governance, as well as direct project management execution experience; highly-valued contributor in both a Business Strategy & Technology PMO, and a M&A Integration PMO. I have a Master’s of Science in Project Management from Boston University through their PMI-accredited program, and I have my PMP® Certification. See Experience & Skills for additional details.

Ownership & Execution

Leaving a meeting without specific actions can lead to a culture of passivity and “swirl.” By taking notes, distributing minutes, assigning ownership, and tracking follow-ups I drive project execution and ensure timely information. Assigning ownership and maintaining accountability helps drive decisions and identify risk items.

Agile Program Management

I managed a $14M technology program requiring coordination and collaboration with 12 development teams spread across 5 countries. I also managed the successful launch of a new wealth management product for Charles River Development, among other highlights. Understanding development sprints, release schedules, story assignment, and business/client priorities are critical when managing toward large-scale business outcomes and milestone delivery.

Workflows & Processes

Identifying how work/data move through a system(s) is critical for effective management, as well as successful change.  Using a LEAN approach, I have extensive experience identifying, documenting, and analyzing cross-functional workflows in various operational environments. I focus on Partnership with Business Units through implementation.

Business strategy

A relentless focus on maximizing business outcomes, resourcing and prioritization, mitigating risk, and developing opportunities are determinant factors for Program Management. I have worked on lift-out projects, M&A integration projects, corporate partnerships, new business/product launches, and strategic platform re-designs. In each case, I worked to focus the big-picture vision into SMART goals so the project team could drive execution.

Executive Reporting

Clear, concise, meaningful. The ability to self-edit, refine language, and tightly structure reporting is an often overlooked but critical skill. I have created and prepared numerous reporting materials, program summaries, etc. for executive consumption, including some reports which have become preferred templates. Samples are available to view.
