Executive Overview

As a customer-centric technology and global operations business leader with 25+ years of experience, I have built and inspired high-performing teams that helped achieve profitable growth and efficiencies at scale. While establishing, communicating, and executing a clear vision and strategy, I aligned stakeholders and transformed the digital quotient and culture for Fortune 500 and high-growth private organizations. I also enabled Supply chain outsourcing solutions for key strategic customers, including managing Dell, AT&T, Microsoft, and AWS. With breadth and depth of technology expertise across industries, I drove customer-centric innovation and leveraged digital technologies (products, platforms, data analytics, AI, cybersecurity IT / OT) to enhance customer experience, modernize operations, and optimize the business. Over 10 years of experience in the energy industry (including regulated critical infrastructure), collaborating and leading cross-functional teams to execute large-scale digital initiatives and change management. Board responsibilities include technology innovation, governance, and risk management for industrial and healthcare industries. I am passionate about improving children's health as well as encouraging and developing women in STEM.
