Summary

As an Agile Project Manager with over a decade of experience, I excel in leading cross-functional teams to achieve strategic goals across industries such as telecommunications, digital transformation, and supply chain management. Currently, I am spearheading an initiative at Publicis Sapient for Unilever, managing the migration from Liberty to AEM SAAS platforms to enhance operations and deliver superior customer experiences globally. Before that, I successfully led Salesforce CEC projects for UPS (United Parcel Service), where I drove innovation and process improvements. This experience strengthened my strategic planning and execution skills, consistently delivering projects that meet and exceed business objectives.

In my previous role at Tech Mahindra, I effectively managed an Agile Release Train for British Telecom, implementing the Agile Spotify model to coordinate multiple squads from diverse organizations. This role honed my ability to facilitate seamless collaboration and drive strategic progress on a large scale.

My expertise is supported by certifications including Certified Scrum Master, SAFe 6 Scrum Master, Prince 2 Practitioner, and ITIL Foundation. With proficiency in tools like Jira Confluence, Azure DevOps, and Power BI, I ensure complex projects are managed efficiently, achieving tangible outcomes. My key skills include Agile Methodology, Program and Release Management, DevOps, Management Consulting Strategy, and implementing agile practices at an enterprise level.

Passionate about transforming business challenges into growth opportunities, I focus on agile methodologies and strategic leadership to drive impactful change. Let’s connect to explore collaboration opportunities and discuss how we can achieve sustainable success together.
