Summary

Senior technical program manager with 15+ years owning complex technical and infrastructure project portfolios in Latin America. Owns the portfolio end to end: annual and capital planning, budgets, schedules and priorities, execution, and reporting all the way up to the Board. Comfortable with numbers, not just schedules: tracks budgets, actuals and forecasts and flags variances before they become problems. Coordinates dependencies across engineering, finance, procurement and vendors. Proactive by nature, chases down answers, holds people accountable, and writes clean documentation. Regular overlap with US Pacific and Central hours.
