About
I am a results-driven Senior Project Manager with 6.5+ years of experience governing complex, multi-national project portfolios. My work sits at the intersection of business intent and technical execution: I take ambiguous enterprise requirements and convert them into scoped, funded, staffed and measurable delivery plans.
Today I lead global implementations of the STATIM Policy Administration System at Novac Technology Solutions, working with insurance carriers to align a mature product with their core business processes. Previously I directed portfolios across the USA, Canada, East Africa and the UAE — an AI semantic search platform for a US commercial enterprise, a property management system for an East African PropTech leader, an RPA-driven broker portal for a leading UAE insurer, and a data lake migration that cut front-end report load times by 90%.
My strengths are governance without bureaucracy, honest escalation, and keeping engineering, design, QA and business stakeholders pointed at the same outcome. I have led 36 direct and indirect reports, mentored four project managers, and run 13+ concurrent projects without letting quality slip.

Principles
A team moving fast in the wrong direction is the most expensive kind of progress. I invest in scope clarity first.
Bad news does not improve with age. I raise risks while there is still room to act on them.
Delivery is measured in business impact, not story points closed.
I absorb ambiguity and politics so engineers, designers and QA can do focused work.
Process should reduce risk, not manufacture reporting. Every ceremony earns its place.
Mentoring project managers and analysts is part of the job, not an extra.
Method
01
I start with the business problem, not the backlog. Discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews and process mapping until the real constraint is visible.
02
Scope, success criteria and definition of done agreed in writing before a sprint begins. Alignment early is cheaper than escalation later.
03
Realistic schedules built from team capacity, not wishful thinking. Dependencies, risks and budget mapped against milestones.
04
Sprint cadence, transparent reporting and fast blocker removal. I keep the team focused and absorb the noise.
05
Delivery tracked against agreed metrics — velocity, quality, adoption, cost. Numbers, not narratives.
06
Retrospectives that change behaviour. Every programme should leave the team more capable than it found them.
