With over 20 years of experience in IT leadership, I have been instrumental in driving Agile transformation across global corporations. My focus has been on aligning strategy and operations to improve efficiency and deliver software solutions in an Agile environment. I have led diverse teams, managed global programs, and implemented SDLC best practices, with a particular emphasis on the SAFe Agile framework.
I have held significant positions such as Software Engineering Manager at Alaska Airlines and Senior Release Train Engineer at Ernst & Young, where I managed a $40M mobile tax platform project. My experience in these roles has honed my skills in stakeholder communication, coaching, and strategic process improvement to ensure that projects are aligned with business requirements for optimal efficiency.
At Syniverse, I led R&D efforts to enhance a cloud-based communication platform, delivering scalable solutions while navigating regulatory compliance for global clients.
My experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers and in government services further demonstrates my ability to manage substantial budgets and foster regional development initiatives. I have technical proficiency in a wide array of tools and languages, including Microsoft Azure, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, and more, which enables me to mentor over 200 professionals. My certifications as a SAFe Program Consultant, Release Train Engineer, and ScrumMaster underline my commitment to Agile principles and continuous learning.
I am passionate about mentoring and community service, actively participating in organizations such as Feeding Tampa Bay and Big Brothers Big Sisters. These experiences have shaped my leadership style, emphasizing empathy, continuous improvement, and a commitment to making a positive impact both within and outside the workplace.
I am driven by the challenge of leveraging technology to solve complex business problems, and I am constantly seeking opportunities to apply my extensive experience and leadership skills in environments that value innovation, strategic growth, and technological excellence.
