Experience
Sr Program Manager
Feb 2007 — Present · Kohler, WI, US
As a Senior Program Manager, I lead complex programs and projects from concept to launch, blending strategic vision with hands-on execution. My work is rooted in cross-functional collaboration, product development, and a deep commitment to delivering results that matter.I bring structure, predictability, and cadence to the development process by applying Lean project management methodologies. This approach enables me to take mere project ideas and turn them into streamlined workflows, reducing waste and driving continuous improvement—ensuring that teams stay aligned, stakeholders stay informed, and timelines stay on track.With a passion for innovation and a focus on execution, I thrive in dynamic environments where \"messy\" creativity meets process. Whether I’m guiding a new product through development or managing a portfolio of initiatives, I’m committed to building momentum, fostering engagement, and delivering high-impact outcomes.
