   Implemented transformational leadership strategies to efficiently identify and place suitable individuals in key roles within the organization. The restructuring of the Engineering team involved the removal of silos and the implementation of streamlined processes, fostering the development of a highly functional team. Acting as a bridge between Engineering teams and Executives, I facilitated alignment between the engineering projects and the strategic directions of the company. This included presenting to the Board and Executive team and securing support for a proposal to modernize the application. From project conception to successful kickoff and through various milestones, I led the team, ensuring the project remained within scope, on time, and within budget. Major Accomplishments: • Comprehensive restructuring of the Engineering organization within the first 60 days • Established a trust-based working environment enhancing team productivity • Within 9 months, reduced the team size by 50% while retaining key talent • Shifted hiring practices towards seasoned resources with 3-5 years of experience • Attracted industry experts to augment the team\'s depth of knowledge and raise the bar for the rest of the team • Optimized development and testing processes for timely, high-quality releases • Implemented a separation of duties between Development and Cloud Operations to safeguard customer production SaaS systems • Aggressively worked on technical debt and defect backlogs while continually addressing any security vulnerabilities Additionally, I played a pivotal role in coaching and mentoring Engineering leadership, transforming their perspectives and approaches.
