I’m currently VP of Innovation & Delivery Enablement at NMI, where I get to work at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and transformation. I lead an incredible team responsible for portfolio, program, and project management—and we’re also driving some of the most exciting shifts in how we work through AI, Agile Ops, and automation. At the core, I’m passionate about making things work better—whether that’s helping teams deliver with more clarity and confidence, modernizing how we operate, or scaling new ways of working across the business. I love connecting big-picture vision with practical execution, and I take pride in creating the conditions for people and ideas to thrive. I believe transformation isn’t just about process or tech—it’s about mindset. And the most powerful results come when we combine innovation with intentionality, and execution with joy.
