About Me
I am a Transformation and Change Management Leader with an exceptional record of delivering product development, process improvement, compliance remediation, and digital transformation initiatives. My approach ensures successful strategy implementation through effective Change Governance, Project Portfolio Management, and Organizational Change Management.
I am viewed as an integral partner to C-suite executives and senior leadership teams, enabling organizations to unlock profit and efficiency opportunities through technology, process excellence, and culture change. I have been recognized for building and leading global, cross-cultural teams that deliver superior business outcomes through organization-wide collaboration and stakeholder alignment.
Why Manage Change?
Effective Project and Program Management is vital to deliver successful business transformations. Too often, however, demand for change outstrips available personnel and capital capacities. Other times, complex portfolios of change initiatives are not optimized or aligned. Effective business transformation governance is an essential response to the increasing demand for change, lacking visibility into constraints and change impacts, and the complexities of managing the people side of organizational change. A sound approach for setting priorities, allocating resources, driving delivery excellence, engaging the workforce, and ensuring strategic and functional alignment is therefore necessary and will improve enterprise change agility and return on investment.
