About

I’ve spent over two decades navigating the ever-evolving landscape of information technology. My journey began at Travelers Insurance where I managed enterprise web applications and learned the ropes of aligning technology with business needs. Fast forward to today, I’m leading IT Corporate Systems Development and Data Architecture at Floor & Decor. Here, I drive our IT strategy and oversee initiatives that not only enhance operations but also boost financial results across the organization. Before my current role, I honed my skills at The Home Depot as a Senior Project Manager where I led significant IT initiatives that delivered measurable ROI. My experience there taught me how to effectively manage resource allocation and budgeting while collaborating closely with finance leadership to ensure our projects were not just innovative but also financially sound. I believe in the power of technology to transform businesses and am passionate about cultivating an IT operation that is not just reactive but proactively supports strategic objectives. Outside of work, I enjoy staying connected with the tech community through meetups and discussions about emerging trends—there’s always something new to learn!
