I’m a seasoned project manager and data strategist with over a decade of experience leading IT, SaaS, and consulting teams through digital transformation. With a background that blends project recovery, data science, and operational delivery, I specialize in helping mid-sized teams bring order to chaos — especially in fast-moving environments where tech, people, and business collide.

I also apply social data science to help companies understand customer behavior, optimize performance, and make smarter decisions. From churn prediction and sentiment analysis to audience segmentation and campaign analytics, I help organizations turn raw data into actionable insights — and use those insights to drive growth, engagement, and loyalty.

I’ve worked across industries including biotech, petrochemical, and managed IT services, helping organizations build smarter processes using tools like Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and AI-enhanced workflows. Whether I’m rebuilding a help desk, designing project dashboards, or rescuing failing implementations, I bring a grounded, real-world approach to leadership.

Today, I speak on topics like AI-powered project management, practical data use for PMs, Microsoft 365 automation, and how to align tech delivery with business strategy — without the fluff. My sessions are practical, no-BS, and packed with lessons from the trenches.
