Oracle Fusion Cloud Program and Project Management Enterprise Transformation PMO Leadership

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Most enterprise programs fail to deliver the business benefits that justified the investment. That outcome has never been acceptable. Twenty years of enterprise program leadership built on one commitment: business value is the highest standard.

What makes that standard achievable is a combination that is genuinely rare: the executive presence to govern transformation at the steering committee level and the technical depth to direct integration architecture, software development cycles, and regulated delivery environments within the same engagement. Oracle Fusion Cloud specialist. Big 4 roots. Programs from the hundreds of thousands to $10M. Teams from three to over a hundred. Utilities, energy, pharmaceutical, life sciences, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, and public sector.

Success is not accidental. It is disciplined, relational, and continuous.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Cognizant 2015 – Present

Associate Director — Program Management Oracle Practice Technical Program Manager

•Earned expanded program authority on a $10M Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM program (60 countries, 70,000 employees, ADP GlobalView integration, 100-plus resources) after first stabilizing a stalled functional and payroll track. Executive sponsor extended the mandate to full technical and data workstream oversight across a separate SI. Introduced Agile Scrum, stack-ranked the RICEF backlog with business owners by priority, and moved the program from waterfall to accelerated sprint delivery. Governed every RICEF component from TDD through unit test and sprint acceptance. The result: measurable gains in velocity, quality, and requirements clarity before a line of code was written.

•Named Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM engagement lead through a Big 4 firm for a major renewable energy client. Managed 25 resources and 2 direct-report PMs within the Big 4 governance framework, delivering on scope, schedule, and quality commitments.

•Directed the data governance, ETL, and data quality workstream on a $1B Oracle Fusion Cloud transformation, requiring simultaneous data extraction from both SAP and Oracle EBS. Dual-platform source complexity of this kind is rare. Conversion standards were adopted program-wide.

•Led the Oracle JD Edwards workstream within a pharmaceutical manufacturing PMO operating across GxP-compliant VAL and Production environments under strict change control. Coordinated SAP integration alignment and supervised one offshore PM. Program outcome: $50M in documented benefits realization.

•Named Systems Architect on a data center consolidation initiative for a major medical device manufacturer, governing technical architecture, environment design, and migration sequencing across a one-year engagement.

•Currently directing an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) platform upgrade across 17 regulated pharmaceutical environments, migrating to Oracle Linux (OEL) with formal GxP change control, regression testing protocols, and minimal-downtime cutover sequencing across each environment.
