About Me
Boasting over 15 years of leadership in project, program, and portfolio management, I am a seasoned authority in the delivery of comprehensive professional and managed services. My acumen spans the full spectrum from network and infrastructure projects to application development, adeptly managing every phase from conception to closure with a focus on both professional services and managed services models.

My extensive experience has been leveraged to drive success in responding to tenders, developing proposals, navigating RFP processes, and enhancing sales through strategic support activities. Expert contract management has been a consistent theme throughout my career, ensuring profitable and compliant project execution.

In the realm of Relationship Management, my expertise has been cultivated in diverse environments, including Service Provider, Enterprise, and Public sectors. This experience has established me as a keystone in forging enduring relationships with clients and stakeholders, cementing trust and partnership.

Strategically, I have honed a balanced approach to project, program, and portfolio management with a keen eye on service delivery excellence. I navigate resource allocation with precision, ensuring operational constraints are masterfully managed to support project requirements. My management style is characterized by a meticulous focus on budgeting, planning, execution, risk management, governance, operational management, and adherence to Total Quality Management (TQM) standards.

At the forefront of PMO leadership, I drive the development of robust standards, processes, and procedures that underpin successful service delivery. This strategic direction is harmoniously aligned with established project and operational management methodologies, ensuring a seamless integration of project management disciplines across the organizational fabric.

My leadership has been instrumental in the fruition of multimillion dollar projects, delivering not only on financial targets but also on strategic business outcomes. This comprehensive approach to managing and optimizing budgets has been critical in realizing substantial profit margins and exceeding both operational and client expectations.
