Selected Experience
Programs I have owned end-to-end
Each role answers the same four questions: what was broken, who was at risk, what I built to fix it, and what changed because of it. The pattern is consistent: walked in to fragmentation, called the right decisions with no formal authority, and left a delivery function that ran without me.

Weill Cornell Medical College
Apr 2024 – Present
12 clinical and research systems serving 500+ downstream users operated with zero program governance, no release process, and no documentation on arrival. One failed deployment in a HIPAA-regulated environment risked patient-facing system disruption and compliance exposure. Called in to build the entire operating model from scratch across a 60+ person stakeholder network spanning Engineering, Product, Security, and Research.
- Called go/no-go on 12+ concurrent SAP and integrated system releases for 500+ downstream users, with no formal authority over 60+ stakeholders across Engineering, Basis, Product, Security, and Research, achieving 100% on-time milestones and eliminating the downstream cost of delayed releases across a HIPAA-regulated portfolio
- Delivered 30+ zero-incident SAP releases at 99.9% data availability, protecting 500+ downstream users from operational disruption and avoiding HIPAA compliance exposure that carries fines from $100 to $50,000 per violation
- Governed SAP transport requests and change sequencing across 12+ upstream system dependencies and a 60+ person stakeholder network, sustaining release velocity through lean governance that kept delivery moving
- Built the minimum SAP change governance needed to close 100% of HIPAA audit gaps in a previously undocumented environment, protecting the institution from regulatory fines ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation and making every subsequent release auditable
- Replaced manual SAP status reporting across 60+ stakeholders with automated release health signal using Claude and Copilot, cutting reporting overhead 60% and recovering an estimated 30+ hours per week across the program team, redirecting that capacity to delivery. Built the tool at programhealthpulse.com to do it

Jan 2023 – Mar 2024
5 siloed business units, 50 engineers, 20+ distributed services, and 8 production environments operated with no shared release rhythm. Missed handoffs were accumulating and multi-million dollar enterprise SLAs were at risk with no coordination layer to prevent cascading failures across the global portfolio.
- Governed SAP transport release sequencing across 50 engineers in 5 business units and 20+ distributed SAP and integrated services, cutting missed handoffs 20 to 30% and reducing downstream rework and coordination costs by an estimated $150K+ annually through direct transport dependency ownership
- Drove SAFe-aligned PI Planning across globally distributed onshore and offshore SAP delivery teams, protecting multi-million dollar enterprise SLAs where a single transport conflict or missed commitment cascaded into financial penalties and service credits across 8 SAP production landscapes
- Made the judgment call on SAP transport conflicts and escalation paths across five business units, preventing SLA breaches that would have triggered financial penalties while sustaining velocity through 8 concurrent SAP environments
- Gave leadership direct, real-time signal on SAP transport and deployment risk through Tableau-based dashboards, replacing scattered status updates across 5 BUs with a single source of truth on release health across the full SAP portfolio

Adecco
Apr 2020 – Jul 2022
Led the Simplement program at Adecco, a SOX-compliant enterprise SAP ECC portfolio spanning 6 production environments and 15+ integrated applications carrying $500K+ downtime exposure per major incident. Recurring SAP production issues were eroding delivery confidence and audit findings were accumulating with no structured transport governance or change controls in place.
- Called SAP ECC release readiness across 6 production environments and 15+ integrated applications, owning direct accountability for $500K+ downtime exposure per incident in a SOX-regulated portfolio where every failed transport carried both financial and audit consequences
- Launched the Simplement program to replace ad hoc manual reporting extracts with standardized SAP-integrated self-serve reporting for finance and operations teams, directly contributing to a 35% reduction in recurring SAP production incidents and an estimated $175K+ annually in avoided remediation costs
- Eliminated accumulating SOX audit findings by building only the SAP change documentation that mattered, establishing ITIL-aligned transport records and CAB governance that protected the organization from SOX non-compliance penalties that carry fines up to $5M and criminal liability
- Owned SAP transport and integration sequencing decisions directly with Basis and functional teams across 15+ applications, closing transport dependency gaps and environment conflicts before they reached production and compounded downtime risk

Jul 2017 – Oct 2019
Enterprise financial services and insurance client portfolios across 4 geographic regions had C-Suite leadership making release decisions with no unified visibility into deployment readiness across 30+ coordinated applications. A single rollback event in a regulated client environment carried reputational, financial, and legal consequences that no one had a system to prevent.
- Called go/no-go on every SAP ECC and S/4HANA production launch across 30+ coordinated applications and 4 geographic regions for enterprise financial services and insurance client portfolios, achieving zero rollback events and avoiding an estimated $200K+ per incident in remediation, reputational, and regulatory recovery costs
- Closed the visibility gap between C-Suite stakeholders across 4 regions and actual SAP release state, delivering direct, candid reporting on budget variance, transport readiness, milestones, and go/no-go risk that enabled faster financial and delivery decisions at the executive level
- Raised SAP release delivery judgment across 4 regions by coaching project managers on transport risk assessment, go/no-go decision-making, and cutover readiness under pressure, building a team that could operate without constant escalation

May 2015 – Apr 2017
Fortune 500 client infrastructure upgrades across 8+ hybrid on-premises and cloud systems had no structured promotion process or documentation traceability, creating audit exposure, unpredictable deployment outcomes, and no clear escalation path when things went wrong.
- Called SAP release sequencing decisions for infrastructure upgrade and platform integration programs across 8+ integrated systems for Fortune 500 client engagements, building structured SAP transport and environment promotion controls where none had existed
- Worked directly with SAP Basis and compliance teams to establish only the transport documentation that mattered, closing audit exposure across hybrid on-premises and SAP cloud environments and keeping delivery teams focused on outcomes
