Experience

1. Global B2b Edi Cfg It- Product Manager Leader

   Cummins Inc.

   Oct 2017 — Present · Memphis, TN, US

   As a global product leader, I drive B2B integration strategy and delivery at scale, aligning digital capabilities with enterprise-wide priorities. I led the successful migration of IBM Sterling EDI to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enhancing scalability while reducing infrastructure costs. I also spearheaded automation for partner onboarding, cutting lead times from 15 days to 1, and negotiated $1M+ in vendor savings through strategic contract management.Over the past 6+ years, I’ve championed SAFe Agile across global teams, embedding Agile Release Trains and UX practices to deliver high-value digital products. Most recently, I’ve helped transition our approach to Power Cell Teams—a business-value-driven model focused on OKRs (Objectives & Key Results). This evolution emphasizes prioritization based on impact, tighter alignment between IT and business strategy, and a stronger connection to enterprise outcomes.By blending Agile frameworks with product thinking and continuous innovation, I’ve consistently improved team productivity (+35%) and user adoption (+40%) while driving strategic alignment across global operations.
