Summary
I am looking for opportunities to return back from my sabbatical which I have taken for 8 years (starting 2016) for personal reasons.
During my career break, I have engaged in community involvement and social initiatives. In my roles as Treasurer of my society and a PTA volunteer, I have honed my leadership, financial management, and organizational skills for various events.
Before my sabbatical, I have been a results-oriented Project Manager with 11+ years of experience leading and delivering complex projects across diverse industries.
I have the ability to build and manage high-performing teams, drive successful project outcomes, and optimize processes.
I possess strong expertise in stakeholder management, communication, and program management.
I am seeking a Program Manager role (Full Time) to leverage my IT experience in achieving strategic objectives and realizing business goals.
