Key Strengths

  • Built and launched a PMO for a firm-wide business transformation (Bear Stearns) with multi-level communications and governance
  • Established executive alignment mechanisms (biweekly steering committee, operations committee) to drive decisions and accountability
  • Ran weekly cross-team prioritization across five parallel teams, reducing redundancies and capturing learnings via an issue-resolution database
  • Skilled at breaking down silos and improving transparency in contentious cross-functional environments
  • Improved executive productivity by implementing delegation-oriented team operating rhythms (weekly issue/solution meetings) to remove leader bottlenecks
  • Influenced risk-averse executives by reframing innovation funding into outcome/ROI narratives and using storytelling to build buy-in
