About

I am a Transformation & PMO Leader with 15+ years of experience driving structured delivery across financial, insurance, civil, and defense-oriented environments. My career evolved from software engineering into enterprise-level delivery governance, where I led multi-project portfolios, established PMO frameworks, and standardized execution models to improve visibility, risk control, and delivery discipline. I specialize in: • PMO establishment and governance design • Portfolio-level monitoring and risk oversight • Multi-project coordination and execution alignment • End-to-end lifecycle leadership from proposal to delivery • Executive reporting and stakeholder communication I bring a strong technical foundation combined with strategic oversight, enabling organizations to transition from reactive project execution to structured, governance-driven delivery environments. Currently open to senior-level Transformation, PMO, and Delivery Leadership opportunities in Baku.
