About
I turn complex, multi-stakeholder technology programs into delivered results, on time, on budget, and across organizational boundaries.My background is in wireless telecommunications, where I've spent 10+ years managing infrastructure programs at serious scale: $36M portfolios, networks serving 5M+ subscribers, and deployments spanning thousands of sites across multiple countries. But the skills that got those programs across the finish line, cross-functional leadership, vendor orchestration, risk governance, and translating technical complexity into executive-level decisions, apply well beyond telecom.A few things that define how I work:→ Led the first live virtual RNC (vRNC) deployment at MTN Irancell: 3 Nokia AirScale systems, 8,000+ NodeBs, 5M+ subscribers migrated without major outage→ Drove a regulatory-mandated migration of 1,000+ legacy nodes within a 2-month deadline, coordinating 10+ teams and reporting to CTO/COO.→ Led Canada's first O-RAN PlugFest, bringing together international vendors and a Tier-1 operator.→ Built and scaled an AI-powered test automation platform from concept to production; conducted 20+ customer discovery interviews and deployed across 5 live network environments→ Secured $1M+ in competitive government funding by building a customer-validated business case and defending it through rigorous technical reviewI hold a Master's in Management, Innovation & Entrepreneurship from Queen's University, along with PSM I and CSPO certifications. Currently pursuing AWS Solutions Architect and PMP.Exploring senior Technical Program Manager roles where scale, complexity, and cross-functional alignment are the challenge.
