About Liana U.

An established and valued business partner offering over 20 years of diverse experience in the Public Sector, in Program and Project Management, contributing strong efforts in areas of strategy, compliance, business process improvement, contracting, and customer support. Extensive knowledge in: Public Sector Acumen, Project Management, Compliance, account management, customer support, conflict resolution, goal setting, risk management and leadership.Continued success in any organization requires constantly finding new ways to work smarter and better. Not only is that my own focus as a leader, but I’ve found that I’m most satisfied when I’m helping others accomplish this goal.Each company and leader defines success in their own way. For me, that means ensuring we:• Create repeatable processes, from managing cross-functional teams to implementing effective budgeting practices.• Work closely with executive leaders to carry out our strategic vision.• Convey complex ideas in easy-to-understand ways that drive action.• Mentor others—so they can achieve their own leadership goals.A framework is vital. So are the right resources. As a leader, my role is to support every member of the team, value and elevate their contributions and their voices, and treat them with integrity.There’s no better way to encourage innovation than by bringing diverse ideas to the table. That’s why our diversity, equity and inclusion programs, as well our youth initiatives, are so vital. To embrace innovation, we must stay open to new ideas and new approaches.When I’m not focused on Program Management, I like to recharge spending as much time outdoors as I can. There really is a healing power in nature.
