Nine years leading complex programs in the U.S. Navy: hardware, logistics, contractors, and cross-functional teams, all landing on time. High standards, low ego.
I am a project and program manager with nine-plus years spent bringing order to large, complicated work and getting it across the line. I am comfortable running several projects at once, owning the schedule, budget, and risk on each while keeping cross-functional teams, contractors, and senior stakeholders pointed in the same direction without friction. I am PMP-certified and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, with 100% milestone compliance on 350+ person programs and a habit of leaving every process better than I found it. Steady under pressure, straightforward with people, and easy to build a team around.
Folded 150+ legacy modules into one digital training platform, with dashboards that finally gave leadership a clear read on quality and readiness.
Ran the integrated schedule for a 350+ person effort across engineering, operations, and 25 contractor and partner organizations.
Brought 20 systems to full operational readiness and led test and validation for a highest-stakes evaluation, with no schedule slips.
The work should be good and the people should want to be on the team. Both, not one.
A high bar held at a pace people can actually sustain. Burnout is a planning failure.
I build up the managers under me instead of just handing out tasks. It scales, and it lasts.
Every program should end with cleaner process than it started with, ready for whoever runs it next.
I am transitioning out of the Navy and looking for a team that does great work and is good to work with. If that sounds like yours, I would love to talk.
