Dream it Build it Launch it Scale it

I’m a Program Manager with 10+ years of experience leading the end-to-end conception through launch of complex technology solutions for top-tier companies including Meta, Adobe, the NFL, and Disney.

I specialize in cross-functional leadership, AI-powered automation, and operational transformation — turning complex challenges into streamlined systems that deliver measurable business outcomes. I’ve led initiatives that reduced operational costs, improved team productivity by 30%, and delivered platform savings measured in the tens of millions annually.

As a Program Manager, I thrive in the intersection of product, engineering, and business — building and leading high-performing teams, aligning stakeholders, strategy, and executing with precision from concept through launch and iterations. This portfolio highlights select programs and platforms I’ve led across AI innovation, marketing technology, and enterprise systems.

Product Launches Ops  •  Meta AI

Lead go-to-market execution for Meta’s product launches, coordinating consensus across product, engineering, and business teams to ensure on-time, defect-free releases. I transform stakeholder inputs into cohesive launch strategies and drive milestone achievement in collaboration with planning, budget, engineering, and product marketing — implementing best practices that improved team productivity by 30% and reduced time-to-launch.

Platform Capabilities Enhancements

Architected and led the XFN Home & Global Launch Calendar — Meta’s centralized marketing data platform and system of record for all teams launching products and sites across the organization. Supporting over 2,400 feature releases annually, I defined cross-functional ownership, clarified interdependencies, and built scalable workflows enabling faster, more aligned decision-making across Meta’s global marketing operations.

Platform Capabilities Enhancements

Led the AI-powered automation rollout for Adobe Workfront Planning, reducing operational costs by $6M through optimized resource allocation. Secured stakeholder buy-in for AI automation, established KPIs with product and engineering teams, and led cross-functional teams to launch innovative AI tools — overseeing the full program lifecycle from roadmap through on-time deployment and measurable cost savings.

Scale & Growth Operational Model

While at Foxconn / Belkin, I managed the integration of Adobe Workfront with legacy platforms including Tableau, Power BI, and Oracle — improving financial data integrity and increasing annual profits by 10%. Developed cross-functional strategies across a complex matrixed organization, restructured global project approval meetings, and instituted a governance framework that curtailed scope creep and drove executive-level go/no-go decisions based on ROI.

New IP Introduction  •  Streaming Data Integrity

While at Disney (Disney Streaming | Hulu), I led the strategic CCPA compliance initiative, harmonizing consumer data across parent entities to pave the way for Disney+ and Peacock. Set clear success criteria for Hulu’s CCPA efforts, introduced a governance framework that improved executive milestone accuracy, and streamlined Hulu and Disney+ data integration — avoiding millions in potential non-compliance litigation losses.       

Platform Optimization  •  Centralization  •  Scale

Led the redesign and relaunch of the NFL’s highest-profile franchise websites — including the New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears. Drove end-to-end platform strategy across CMS, SDLC, and ADA W3C compliance, while managing vendor relationships, feature enhancements, and platform optimizations that elevated digital experiences for millions of fans across the league.
