Reno, NV

What I Did:
Throughout my career, I’ve led nonstop projects that relied on bringing together diverse business stakeholders — including sales, finance, compliance, and offshore delivery teams — to align on priorities and outcomes. My focus was on turning complex requirements into clear, actionable steps by facilitating open communication, guiding risk discussions, and ensuring every perspective was represented. Acting as the connector between technical detail and executive strategy, I created frameworks that built trust, enabled smarter decision-making, and kept projects moving forward without losing momentum.

- Business Needs – Understanding what the business is trying to achieve and the challenges we need to solve.
- Stakeholder Input – Pulling in the right voices from sales, finance, compliance, operations, and partners to make sure nothing is missed.
- Collaboration & Alignment – Bringing everyone together, cutting through the noise, and keeping us all moving toward the same outcome.
- Process Improvements – Finding better ways to work, closing gaps, and creating consistency that teams can rely on.
- Automation & Accuracy – Taking manual tasks off the table and putting in solutions that deliver results we can trust.
- Executive Reporting – Turning all of that work into clear insights leaders can use to make fast, confident decisions.

Impact:
By combining collaboration with process improvements, I introduced automation and accuracy measures that reduced manual errors, increased consistency, and streamlined reporting cycles. These changes not only improved operational reliability but also gave executives clearer visibility into progress and challenges. The result was stronger cross-functional alignment, higher stakeholder confidence, and a proven ability to deliver sustainable outcomes through collaboration and continuous delivery.
