What I bring

Program recovery

Taking programs that have slipped on scope, schedule or trust and putting them back on a steady, measured footing.

Governance that sticks

Operating rhythms, scorecards and escalation paths that teams keep using after the consultants leave.

Client and P&L leadership

C-level relationships, contracts and renewals, and growing accounts by delivering well.

Applied AI and Salesforce

Hands-on with AI tools in daily work, five Salesforce certifications, and a practical view of where AI pays off.

PRISM delivery assessment

A structured health check for any IT program: 116 practices scored 1–4, filtered by methodology (predictive, agile or hybrid), with current-versus-previous scorecards. It grew out of the governance model I used to recover programs at Cognizant, Wipro and Eviden.
