Senior IT Program Manager | Fractional Operations Lead | Data & Transformation Specialist
I don’t just manage projects; I build delivery engines. With over 20 years of experience across Financial Services, Insurance, and Telecom, I specialize in high-stakes data transformation and enterprise integration. I am typically brought in when a program is stalled, high-risk, or suffering from a lack of technical-to-business alignment. What I Offer Fractionally Operating Model Design: I bridge the gap between "vague strategy" and "executable roadmap". I set up the governance, Jira/Notion workflows, and reporting cadences that allow founders to stop micromanaging delivery. Data & Analytics Strategy: From M&A data consolidation to Cloud transformation (Snowflake, AWS, Azure), I ensure your data architecture supports business scale without creating technical debt. Crisis Stabilization: I identify delivery bottlenecks, realign stakeholders, and transition "red" programs into steady-state execution. Sector Expertise I have deep domain knowledge in InsurTech and FinTech, with a focus on regulatory compliance (AML, OSFI, IFRS), Master Data Management (MDM), and enterprise-scale data migrations. Technical Toolkit I am a "medium-savvy" leader who speaks the language of developers. I leverage a modern stack to maintain high-velocity delivery without the typical enterprise overhead: Project & Data: Jira, Notion, Power BI, SQL, Data Modeling. Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Informatica. AI & Automation: Implementation of AI-driven workflows (LLMs/Agents) for automated project synthesis, task extraction, and operational efficiency. Languages: Fluent in English, French, German, and Romanian. Available for: Fractional Head of PMO roles, strategic advisory, or leading complex data transformations.
