About candidate

About you
With over 10 years in program & project management, mainly in software development for logistics and supply chain, trade facilitation & banking, I bring unique blend of technical expertise, leadership acumen and proven ability to align IT initiatives with organizational goals and digital transformation.

I bring strong financial oversight skills, having been entrusted to manage the division budget exercise & expenses and consulted for project management best practices & cost-benefit analysis for new initiatives, resulting in over 15% cost saving in cloud operation expenses. This accomplishment were made possible by leveraging transferable skills such as:
1. Cloud financial ops : implementing cost saving strategies within cloud environment, optimizing and modernization of resources to achieve significant reduction in operational expenses.
2. Process Improvement: Identifying gaps through OFI testing and enforcing procedure updates to streamline workflow across the IT division
3. Strategic Leadership: Orchestrating a cross-functional team to deliver the complex project within budget, while fostering a culture of collaboration and compliance.

Beyond technical and financial skills. My experience also includes building strong partnerships, recruiting high-performing teams, setting departmental goals and technology risk management. These experiences have honed my skills in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and process optimization, which are transferable skills that could benefit your company

What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
The biggest challenge was managing stakeholder expectations while maintaining the project timeline. There were frequent scope changes, and at one point, a major stakeholder raised concerns that could have delayed the entire initiative. I had to step in, re-engage the stakeholder group, revisit the risk register, and lead several alignment workshops to ensure everyone was on the same page.

In the end, we achieved go-live as scheduled by negotiating key deliverables and re-prioritizing work without compromising quality or compliance. The experience strengthened my stakeholder management, risk mitigation, and adaptive planning skills. It also reinforced the importance of proactive communication and building strong relationships across functions and regions."
