Senior Program Manager | Cross-Functional Execution & Operational Strategy | Building Scalable Systems in High-Growth SaaS | Enablement & Program Design

Houston, Texas, United States

About

I build the operational infrastructure that makes complex organizations execute consistently at scale. With 6+ years across high-growth SaaS and healthcare technology, I specialize in translating strategic vision into clear, repeatable frameworks that cross functional teams can actually execute against. My background spans program management, organizational change and enablement infrastructure, giving me the ability to identify where friction lives and build systems that remove it permanently. That means working across Product, Engineering, Operations and GTM to bring structure to ambiguity, align competing priorities and create the kind of execution clarity that sticks long after the project closes. I do not just manage programs. I build the operational foundation that makes everything around them run better.
