Summary
I am an accomplished technology executive with extensive experience in building and leading cross-functional teams to deliver complex, outcome-driven initiatives and products. My career progression—from technical delivery to strategic execution—has equipped me with the ability to see the big picture while crafting and executing actionable plans that shape the future of an organization. At Vanguard, I oversee the development and implementation of product strategies for integrated data and analytics experiences, driving self-service capabilities across the enterprise. In 2023, my team successfully modernized legacy products by transitioning to AWS services, yielding annual savings of over $10 million. Additionally, we spearheaded the adoption of Generative AI technologies to enhance business operations across multiple lines of business. Recognized for my ability to inspire and motivate teams, I am committed to transforming products through innovation in people, processes, and data. I excel at fostering collaboration with stakeholders, empowering teams, and cultivating dynamic environments that encourage excellence and growth.
