ABOUT ME
I'm a PMP-certified Senior Global Project Manager with 12+ years of experience turning vision into results. I oversaw multiple million-dollar projects at Implus, LLC, a category-leading active lifestyle accessories brand, consistently delivering on-time and under-budget projects.
My track record speaks for itself: 15% cost reductions, 10% productivity increases, and successfully launching across major brands like FTD, United Airlines, and Chicago Tribune. I've managed everything from global marketing campaigns to enterprise software implementations, leading cross-functional teams of up to 17 professionals and supporting $1.5 million in revenue.
What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between executive strategy and frontline execution. With my PMP, MBA, Six Sigma Green Belt, and hands-on experience, I don't just manage projects—I solve problems and drive measurable business outcomes.
I've managed large-scale projects across industries—from global marketing campaigns to digital transformations. My former role at Implus LLC involved overseeing Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) compliance and marketing operations for major retailers.
Based in San Diego, I specialize in global operations, ESG compliance, and digital transformation. If you need someone who can navigate complexity and deliver results that matter, let's talk.
