I managed a large 40-member program that included multiple diverse teams, driving a transformational engagement.

I developed processes from the ground up for the success of the project. The processes handled stakeholder management, including C-suite clients, resources, and people management, to ensure timely delivery and provide guidance and thought leadership to the project teams. The processes also supported the clients in defining and refining their objectives using frameworks and tracking the deliverables to closure, ensuring the ultimate success of the projects/programs.

An OKR framework was also established to measure the key outcomes of the project objectively.

I managed a team of over 20 personnel as part of the enterprise-wide program.

As part of this, I established a governance framework, implemented program management best practices and processes, managed multiple internal and external stakeholders, and established communication channels and program tracking methodologies, defining and measuring KPIs.

This was a multi-year program where I contributed for almost two years, helping the program reach successful milestones.

The goal was to provide a platform for the digital enablement of small subscription-based service providers. This was a social startup meant to boost the digital presence of the small business owner.

I created the product vision, defined the product and GTM strategy, developed the MVP, defined and developed use cases, and identified and engaged with potential investors.

I co-created the product vision and strategy with the client to support regulatory changes. For this, I ran the client's discovery and conducted discovery workshops to define the project requirements.

I was the program manager for the team that developed the MVP, defined and developed use cases, and worked with the client on the strategy for integration with the existing application.

Working with a distributed agile team that was new to Agile meant I had to work on both sides of the globe to ensure transparency and a smooth experience for the customer.

I created the product vision, defined the product and GTM strategy, developed the MVP, defined and developed use cases, identified and engaged with potential investors, and served as scrum master and product owner on the project.

Being the agile project manager for a team of six shared personnel meant that we had to maximize productivity to ensure product iterations went out on time for every sprint.

The platform was built for iOS and Android.

The client had their legacy application on a mainframe. Since they could not manage the applications effectively, they wanted to migrate the application to the cloud. We recommended leveraging GenAI to maximize throughput and minimize errors as part of the solution. I facilitated the discovery and inception, defined the processes to be followed, and established the guardrails since this was one of the early GenAI projects.

In addition to establishing KPIs for measuring outcomes, I supported measuring the efforts and quality to continue demonstrating that the decision to use GenAI for this migration was justified.
