   Established an Agile community of practice (CoP) that included all of the company’s product and program managers to create a collaborative environment that was used to build and update the company’s project management standards of practice across all teams, providing leadership with consistent metrics that they could use to estimate potential roadmap work and cost.Originally hired to manage all of the Corp IT teams but quickly took over all of the operations teams to include Systems, Networking, Cloud Application, Dev Ops/Infrastructure, and Information Security. Managed a large-scale project to enhance our company’s network infrastructure that spanned across six sites within the United States. Established a detailed program plan to manage the work as a whole with individual communication and project plans for each site allowing for easy and consistent tracking of priorities, budget, dates, risks, and issues.Facilitate monthly business reviews with our executive leadership to discuss each of my six teams\' OKRs, budget, current and upcoming projects, major blockers, and any leadership requests. Adding this level of transparency with our executive leadership has helped the team and the company ensure that we are working on the highest priority items first and resolving issues quickly to keep the company moving in a positive direction.
