Extensive experience guiding teams though pivots, disruption and change. INNOVATAON Never satisfied with the status quo, I encourage fresh perspectives, exploration and experimentation. Drawing from deep experience and continuous learning, I bring creative approaches and a customer-centric mindset to all programs/projects from company firsts to rejuvenating critical legacy work. OPERATIONS Deep experience creating processes and best practices. Establishing stakeholder feedback loops has been pivotal for continuous improvement. Achievements include authoring Autodesk\'s original mobile app operations playbook, and creating Prodigy Game\'s dependency management process to surface single solutions for common requirements and reduce resource overallocation. ANALYTICAL THINKING Always fascinated to understand why something succeeds or fails, I view every outcome as a learning opportunity. Using qualitative and quantitative data to identify the drivers, I connect the dots, share findings with stakeholders, and apply the learnings.
