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.
