What I Do

Product leadership
across regulated industries

From compliance technology at major financial institutions to enterprise cloud platforms at Microsoft, I have built a career on translating complex regulatory and technical requirements into products that scale. I operate at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and execution.

01
Compliance Technology
Managing security and compliance systems including Qualys, IVM, CVR, AVR, and Threat Intel dashboards. Achieved 65-85% compliance rates across enterprise environments while preventing multi-billion dollar regulatory fine recurrence.
02
Product Roadmap & Strategy
Partnering with business stakeholders and engineering leaders to define product vision, prioritize backlogs, and ship features that align with company strategy. I run SAFe PI Planning cycles, manage trade-offs, and keep teams outcome-focused.
03
Agile Program Management
Coordinating 23+ product teams through SAFe and Scrum methodologies. Delivering cross-functional programs from inception through production. Fluent in ceremonies, metrics, and the art of keeping distributed teams aligned.
04
Enterprise Cloud Migration
Led on-prem to cloud migrations at OCC and Microsoft, coordinating engineers, designers, and QA across complex architecture transitions. Balancing technical debt reduction with continuous delivery commitments.
05
Stakeholder & Executive Reporting
Building executive dashboards and compliance reporting frameworks that translate operational data into executive-ready insights. Experienced in presenting risk posture, compliance trends, and product outcomes to senior leadership and audit committees.
06
Startup Founding & Product Launch
Co-founded and exited two ventures, including VoteGuard, an enterprise election monitoring platform deployed across three African general elections, electing two presidents and six governors before a successful acquisition.
