Alex M.
IT Governance & Technical Program Manager | Cybersecurity
Need an experienced IT project leader to bring structure, coordination, and follow-through to a technology initiative? I help organizations plan, organize, and deliver IT and cybersecurity initiatives—from early requirements and project setup through implementation, deployment, and operational handoff. My background combines IT project and program management with hands-on experience coordinating enterprise applications, integrations, IAM, cybersecurity, vendors, SDLC activities, governance, and regulated technology environments. I can help when you need someone to: • Lead an IT or technical project from planning through completion • Bring structure to an initiative that is unclear, stalled, or difficult to coordinate • Define scope, requirements, milestones, responsibilities, risks, dependencies, and next steps • Coordinate executives, business stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, and security/compliance resources • Manage application implementations, integrations, IAM initiatives, cybersecurity projects, and technology transformations • Establish project governance, decision processes, reporting, testing, change management, deployment, and operational readiness • Supplement an existing project or program team with experienced leadership and additional capacity My experience includes more than 25 years in technology and project/program delivery across global, regulated, and consulting environments. Recent and career highlights include leading: • An MSP email-security migration across 100 customer environments and approximately 2,000 mailboxes in about three months • 100+ enterprise systems integrations involving applications, identity, APIs, logistics technology, and IoT • Technology transformation for a global solution supporting approximately 600 users, 100 customers, and 20,000 monthly transactions I also bring strong cybersecurity and governance depth, including IAM, risk management, audit readiness, security controls, vendor management, and compliance-oriented initiatives. That background allows me to work effectively with both business and technical teams without losing sight of delivery. I can lead an initiative end-to-end, supplement an existing team, or take ownership of a project that needs better structure and follow-through.
