About

I'm a technical architect at Planisware. For more than a decade I've helped Fortune 500 organizations design, implement and evolve their enterprise project and portfolio management (PPM) solutions, in industries such as life sciences, new product development and engineering.

I've led implementations end to end, overseeing teams of technical consultants and acting as on-shore lead as projects move into long-term managed services. I began my consulting career in 2014 with enterprise content management systems, working with clients in finance and media.
