Reported to the CEO of ADP R&D, managing $10M in annual technology investments and overseeing a 30-person team driving engineering and operational transformation across ADP's $18B human capital management (HCM) business. Modernized program management methodologies and optimized technology investment strategies to increase IT efficiency and business alignment.

• • Agile & DevOps Leadership / Change Management & Cultural Transformation: ADP's 30 development teams operated with inconsistent engineering methodologies, leading to misaligned product launches and operational bottlenecks. Assessed inefficiencies, identifying Agile transformation opportunities. Designed a standardized Scrum framework, trained teams on Agile methodologies, and introduced real-time performance tracking. The initiative accelerated product delivery timelines, improved cross-team collaboration, and optimized development workflows, reducing time-to-market by 30% while enhancing cost efficiency.

Designed/implemented an enterprise-wide portfolio management framework, integrating real-time dashboards for project health, budget utilization, and ROI performance. The initiative standardized executive decision-making, optimized IT resource allocation, and improved alignment across multiple product lines.
