Summary
I’m an experienced program and technology leader with a strong background in business, IT, and healthcare. I build alignment between technical teams and business goals to deliver secure, scalable, and efficient enterprise solutions. My work spans program management, IT transformation, cybersecurity, change management, and product delivery across healthcare, consulting, and financial services. Recent projects include leading information protection and data governance programs at Point32Health, where I drove sensitive data discovery, classification, and rollout of Microsoft Purview to protect cloud and on-prem environments. At Boston Consulting Group, I managed global cybersecurity initiatives, implementing next-generation firewalls and helping stand up a new Security Operations Center that heavily involved changes to people, processes, and technology. I work fluently in Agile and Waterfall, using tools like M365, Smartsheet, Jira, ClickUp, MS Teams, and Slack to keep teams focused and results measurable.
