I am a strategic, technical, and operational leader with over 20 years of experience helping Fortune 500 companies and international organizations navigate complexity, strengthen organizational capabilities, and achieve meaningful business results. My career spans technical program management, strategy and transformation, research and analytics, and organizational leadership. I enjoy bringing together people, processes, and technology to develop practical strategies, build effective teams, and turn ambitious ideas into measurable outcomes. Integrity, ethics, and helping others are the foundations of my professional values. I believe strong leadership begins with trust, thoughtful decision-making, and a genuine commitment to the people and organizations we serve. Whether leading enterprise initiatives, improving operational processes, or guiding research and analytics programs, I strive to bring clarity, accountability, and sound judgment to every endeavor. I believe in the importance of working hard and having fun. I approach my work with dedication and a willingness to go the extra mile, while fostering collaborative environments where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work. Some of my most rewarding experiences have involved building teams, helping organizations overcome challenges, and creating opportunities for others to grow and succeed. Exploration is fundamental to my professional journey. I continuously seek opportunities to challenge conventional thinking, embrace emerging technologies, and find innovative solutions to complex problems. I am particularly interested in how artificial intelligence, data-informed decision-making, and evolving organizational practices can help organizations improve performance and expand their capabilities. What sets me apart is the combination of advanced analytical and technical expertise, strategic thinking, and strong people skills. I am equally comfortable working through complex methodological challenges, developing operational strategies, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and leading initiatives that require both technical understanding and organizational change. I bring a practical, collaborative approach to translating complexity into clear priorities and successful execution. A few things I am proud of: Managed strategic corporate projects totaling more than $300 million for a Fortune 50 corporation. Led more than 200 international survey research projects end-to-end, spanning up to 28 languages, while achieving an average client satisfaction score of 4.9 out of 5. Achieved a 97% reduction in customer-facing errors through root cause analysis, process improvement, and operational changes. Served as a founding member of a Fortune 50 corporate Data Governance Committee. Published 15 peer-reviewed journal articles addressing methodological issues and applied research techniques. Led and supported complex, cross-functional initiatives involving technical delivery, research operations, stakeholder alignment, and organizational improvement. Beyond my professional work, I value community involvement, lifelong learning, and opportunities to make a positive difference.
