Samantha M.

Are you looking for someone who can come in and take a project to completion with minimal fuss? Do you just want it to happen? Well, I’m that person! Simply put, I build great teams that deliver high-quality products, on-time, within budget that customers love! *Testimonial* “In my 20 years of professional experience, [Samantha] showed me a new level of what a good project management should be. She perfectly translated the technical challenges to the stakeholders while at the same time mediated the task priorities. More importantly, she has a strong psychological sense which allows her to build relationship[s] with each individual within the team.” — Mission Bio Executive *Customer Needs vs Corporate Objectives* Addressing customer needs, while meeting corporate objectives, is a balancing act I have mastered. I excel at constructing, refining, and leading teams to execute from concept to final on-time delivery. Before I start any project, I work with stakeholders and customers/clients to determine success metrics and definitions of done. Upfront planning is crucial. Essential components include transparency and constant communication — up, down, and across the organization and with customers. My processes involve centralized documentation, regular timeline updates, and, most importantly, alerts of potential pitfalls (the earlier, the better!). My job history shows a solid track record of shipping high-quality products within budget, including updating existing apps, creating new products, and weathering escalation situations. *Agile Processes* Developing custom agile processes (Scrum) tailored to specific use cases and customers increases efficiency, quality, scalability, sustainability, and customer happiness. No two teams/projects are alike, so why settle for out-of-the-box solutions? Make the most of the team you have because you’ve already invested in them.
