Description

Senior Program and IT Delivery Manager with over 20 years of experience in leading complex enterprise IT and data platform initiatives in global, regulated environments (Pharma/Healthcare).

Proven success in implementing large-scale transformation programs, building and scaling data platforms, and enabling analytics and AI use cases in international organizations. Most recently, I was responsible for the end-to-end delivery of a global, cloud-based data platform in the commercial environment at Novartis – with a budget of over USD 25 million and deployment in more than 35 markets.

My core strengths lie in program and project management, stakeholder and vendor management, and successful implementation in complex, cross-functional organizations. I combine strong delivery leadership with a pragmatic, hands-on approach and experience in agile, hybrid, and traditional delivery models.

Available for interim and project-based roles as Program Manager, Delivery Lead, or Senior Project Manager with a focus on Enterprise IT Delivery, Data Platforms, and Digital Transformation.
