    I am new to Upwork so you won’t see a lot of work history here, but I am happy to provide references. I bring a nerdy fascination with regulatory guidelines and corporate culture, a holistic approach to problem-solving, and a knack for diplomacy and negotiation to every project I tackle. I have worked in North America, Europe, and Africa; have supported teams in local, state, country, and global initiatives; and worked within public, private, non-profit, and start-up organizations. Having held positions in strategic communications, program development, client relations, and operational strategy, I bring a well-rounded skillset to the table. My interests include program development, research and data analysis, and strategic planning, and I enjoy the challenges associated with change and aligning cross-functional teams. Most of my work experience has involved energy management, utilities, and regulatory compliance, and more recently I’ve dipped into helping real estate owners navigate complex building codes. I can take on everything from interviewing stakeholders, writing proposals, and presenting solutions, to executing strategic plans and leading teams for measurable results. Though my background speaks to a penchant for making seemingly boring things interesting, I am an artist, philosopher, and humanist who cares deeply about productive communication and genuine dialogue. I excel in breaking through roadblocks and look forward to working with your team to the world a safer, more sustainable place for us all!

    IT PROJECT & PROGRAM MANAGER / SW RELEASE MANAGER Senior IT Program Manager with over 20 years of experience leading cross-functional and globally distributed teams to deliver complex software solutions. Expertise in Agile/Scrum methodologies, software release management, and process improvement. Proven ability to manage large-scale projects, build consensus, and deliver high-quality results in dynamic, global environments. Strong communicator and collaborative leader with a deep understanding of technical and business requirements. Throughout my career, I've held various roles within the IT industry. In my last two jobs (AgentSync and Puppet) I was a TPM where I managed complex programs to deliver software solutions aligned with strategic objectives. At Puppet, I also served as both TPM and Release Manager, ensuring successful monthly and quarterly software releases and maintaining effective communication between business and technical teams. On both of these two roles, I also functioned as Scrum Master for different SW Dev teams. During my tenure at IBM, I held roles such as Software Release Manager, Project Manager, and Business Analyst, where I led the release management lifecycle of IBM's z/OS operating system, managed software deployments, and collaborated with globally distributed teams to ensure project success. At IBM, my group implemented in 2016 Agile and Scrum framework. I became an Agile Champion and Agile Advocate. I provided Agile presentations, training and guidance to existing teams and new employees. While my different roles during the past 23 years have distinct areas of focus and specific responsibilities, they do hold some commonalities/skill set that are important to point out: leadership and facilitation, including effective conflict resolution between team members and/or stakeholders; effective communication and regular status updates; stakeholder management and holding all involved accountable including myself; identifying, assessing, and managing risks. I had to ensure goal alignment, continuous improvements, flexibility and adaptability, supporting and empowering my project teams (the so called servant leadership), I had to prioritize delivering quality standards, that our releases were stable and reliable, and that sprint goals were achieved meeting the definition of Done.
