Roadmapping Agile / Scrum Localization Stakeholder Mgmt SQL AI Integration

Strategy-first. Execution-obsessed.

I'm a product and systems professional based in the west suburbs of Chicago, currently at ComPsych Corporation where I've spent over 14 years shaping enterprise software products that support employee wellbeing at scale.

My work sits at the intersection of product management, systems architecture, and cross-functional leadership. I've owned platform roadmaps, driven prioritization across competing stakeholder needs, and led multi-month technical migrations — the kind of work that defines product management in practice.

I'm making the transition to roles where product leadership is the job description — open to Product Manager, Project Manager, Program Manager, Solutions Specialist, and IT Business Analyst opportunities in the Chicago area or remote.
