Senior Project Manager @ Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corporation
About
I've spent 17 years turning complex, high-stakes programs into delivered outcomes - on time, on budget, and with the governance to prove it. From a $13M fiber optic backbone at TELUS to zero-downtime cloud migrations serving 8,000+ healthcare users at Change Healthcare, my career has been built at the intersection of enterprise technology and operational accountability. What I bring to a senior program or PMO role: I build programs that hold. That means standing up governance frameworks from day one - RAID logs, steering committee cadence, change control, financial forecasting - and then keeping executives informed with decision-ready reporting rather than status theater. I've maintained under 2% budget variance across multi-year infrastructure portfolios and driven 98%+ on-time milestone delivery across concurrent workstreams in healthcare, telecom, and government environments. I'm equally comfortable owning a single mission-critical deployment (the $1.8M Microsoft Teams Voice rollout across Fraser Health's 2,500 clinical staff) or directing a portfolio of parallel initiatives (40+ customer data centers at Dell, 15+ healthcare sites at PHSA during COVID response). Cloud migrations, infrastructure modernization, cybersecurity governance, vendor management, stakeholder alignment - these aren't check-box skills; they're the through-line of my career. Certified PMP, SMC, and PRINCE2. Open to Senior PM, Program Director, and Fractional PMO engagements across enterprise technology, healthcare IT, and infrastructure.
