Project Manager, IT Learning & Development @ The Home Depot
About
I am a Senior Project Manager with 10+ years of experience leading large-scale operational, technology, and enterprise initiatives, with a strong focus on software delivery, learning platforms, and cross-functional execution. My work centers on disciplined delivery, stakeholder alignment, and building systems and programs that support engineers, technology teams, and enterprise operations at scale. At The Home Depot, I currently lead the end-to-end development and launch of enterprise Learning & Development products supporting more than 800 users. I manage scope, schedule, delivery readiness, and cross-functional coordination across UX, Strategy, IT, and vendor partners to ensure solutions are delivered on time, within budget, and ready for adoption. I serve as the primary project and vendor lead, owning governance, contract management, UAT planning, rollout execution, and KPI tracking to ensure measurable outcomes. Previously, I managed a $100M OpEx portfolio across Building Operations initiatives, driving cost controls, vendor performance management, and multi-site execution. I’ve also led IT Operations initiatives supporting a $3.6M OpEx portfolio, overseeing capacity planning, financial forecasting, and resource optimization across onshore and offshore teams. In this role, I delivered a contractor optimization initiative that reduced contractor utilization by 30% while maintaining service levels and operational continuity. My background also includes extensive experience supporting enterprise merchandising initiatives, where I owned operational readiness and risk mitigation for multi-billion-dollar categories. I partnered with Merchants and cross-functional teams to ensure initiatives were execution-ready, reducing overall project risk by approximately 65% and significantly improving issue rates through stronger governance, planning, and coordination. Earlier in my career, I supported enterprise Workday implementations for payroll and time tracking impacting hundreds of thousands of associates, ensuring audit readiness, compliance, and operational accuracy through disciplined process documentation and controls. I’m known for structured execution, clear communication, and strong delivery governance. Whether launching enterprise software, enabling engineering teams, or managing complex portfolios, I bring rigor, accountability, and consistency to every phase of the project lifecycle.
