Experience

1. Head of Pmo

   As a strategic leader of the Project Management Office at a consulting firm focused on enterprise IT and digital transformation, I oversaw governance, delivery assurance, and executive reporting for a portfolio of high-impact client programs. I designed and implemented PMO frameworks and delivery standards that enhanced consistency, transparency, and stakeholder alignment. By building and leading a high-performing team of program and project managers, I fostered a culture of accountability, agility, and continuous improvement. Through KPI-driven reporting structures and proactive stakeholder engagement, I significantly improved portfolio health—raising program success rates by over 25% and reducing project overruns through tighter controls and early issue escalation.
