Project Manager
Jacksonville, FL
senior
Technical Project Manager and U.S. Navy Veteran with a track record of delivering complex, cross‑functional initiatives across e‑commerce, mobile, AI, and security environments. I specialize in bringing clarity to ambiguity, aligning diverse teams, and driving measurable outcomes that support business goals and operational excellence.
My experience spans the full project lifecycle — from intake and planning to execution, risk mitigation, and delivery. I’ve led initiatives that reduced fraudulent activity by 40%, decreased call center volume by 30% through AI deployment, modernized mobile applications, and strengthened system security across thousands of endpoints. I thrive in environments where priorities shift quickly and where communication, trust, and structured execution are essential.
Before transitioning into corporate project leadership, I spent nearly a decade in the U.S. Navy leading technical teams, training and assessing ship readiness, and guiding leaders through high‑stakes operational environments. That foundation shaped my leadership style: calm under pressure, people‑centered, and relentlessly focused on outcomes.
I’m passionate about helping teams succeed, simplifying complexity, and delivering work that moves organizations forward. Whether partnering with engineering, product, security, or business stakeholders, I focus on alignment, transparency, and disciplined delivery.
Core strengths:
Project & Program Management • PMO Governance • Cross‑Functional Leadership • SDLC • Agile & Hybrid Delivery • Risk Management • Stakeholder Alignment • AI Deployment • Mobile Modernization • Security Initiatives • KPI Tracking • Vendor Management • Continuous Improvement
