Summary

Program and project manager specializing in the full lifecycle of web and digital platforms: CMS migrations, site redesigns, ecommerce delivery, analytics infrastructure, and platform modernization for enterprise B2B/B2C and mission-driven organizations.

Works between business requirements and technical delivery, translating stakeholder goals into executable plans and technical constraints back into terms stakeholders can act on. Known for turning ambiguous goals into structured delivery: requirements, workback schedules, risk registers, QA/UAT strategy, and cross-functional execution across marketing, product, design, engineering, legal/compliance, and vendors.

Builds measurement and automation infrastructure directly rather than delegating it: Power BI and Tableau dashboards, GA4 instrumentation, GTM governance frameworks, and KPI systems that connect digital behavior to business objectives.

Early AI adopter who introduced generative AI workflows to a marketing organization and uses AI as both a thinking partner and a building tool, including bespoke functional tools where no off-the-shelf solution fits. Human review and governance intact throughout.

Web Delivery Program Manager / Senior Consultant

Bridge Partners Contract

Feb 2025 – Jul 2025

Enterprise Web Program  ·  Large Enterprise B2B Technology Client

  • Sole PM across five external vendor teams (content, design, strategy and research, analytics, and development) for the Microsoft Surface for Business website (the program’s home on the Microsoft site), running in 49 locales, coordinating delivery under Bridge Partners oversight.
  • Brought in following a vendor transition that left significant process and workflow gaps; assessed delivery risk and re-established structure across a complex, partner-heavy program.
  • Built an integrated master schedule in MS Project, translating dependencies into milestone-based workback plans to align internal stakeholders and external partners.

Website Marketing Manager / Web Platform & Digital Experience Manager

360training Online Compliance Training

Dec 2021 – Sep 2023

Largest provider of regulated training in the US

  • Owned web delivery for 10+ high-traffic ecommerce properties (OSHA, real estate licensing, TIPS, and healthcare training), partnering with SEO, content, design, and engineering on acquisition, UX, and conversion.
  • Led the post-acquisition migration of the TIPS ecommerce site off unsupported infrastructure while rebranding, using a three-phase plan to avoid a big-bang launch; Phase 1 launched on time with B2B, B2C, and partner access uninterrupted.
  • Localized TIPS content state by state for products regulated differently in each state, directing the SEO team to find each state’s dominant search terms, which became the state pages’ titles and URLs.
  • Built an Asana intake for regulatory content changes with emergency routing and a 48-hour SLA for routine requests, agreed with the Regulatory team; it stayed the standard after the role ended.
  • Built the executive case for a headless CMS architecture, correcting misconceptions held by both marketing and IT; approved by the CMO in a formal presentation and endorsed by the CTO.
  • Introduced a structured ChatGPT copy workflow for VanEd real estate promotions that cut time-to-draft by about 90%, with human review kept in place.
  • Built reusable delivery templates and operating rhythms (intake, estimation, UAT, launch checklists, retros) that improved quality and reduced surprises during high-volume delivery.
  • Led QA for the TIPS migration when no one owned it: ran 20+ person cross-functional testing sessions, tracked bugs with executive visibility, and held daily resolution meetings through launch. Earlier releases had caused major problems for legal, accounting, and B2B sales because teams tested in silos.
  • Created a modular business requirements document whose linked modules explained the why behind each request, so developers read only the modules they needed and commented before every review meeting. Developers hadn’t read BRDs before; afterward, their participation and the quality of their comments improved.
  • Updated website pages directly in HTML and CSS in a mobile-first environment.

  • Planned team capacity in Microsoft Project Web App, checking resource assignments against the schedule to catch overallocation.
  • Took over data and UI for an executive Power BI dashboard mid-build and launched it on time; defined fields and reporting logic and improved data quality at the source.
  • Created the PMO’s standard schedule-creation process and training materials for Microsoft Project Web App and Power BI; the process became the organization’s reference for new schedules.
  • Designed custom MS Project fields and views that gave project managers portfolio-level visibility without navigating the full 100,000-task master schedule.
  • Hosted PMO meetings and managed risk tracking across a program with significant cross-project dependencies and real consequences for cascading failures.

  • Turned 40+ hours of stakeholder focus groups into a prioritized backlog of 100+ measurable objectives, translating member needs into site capabilities.
  • Designed and implemented a complete delivery operating system in Asana: two parallel intake workflows, a nine-state work queue, a structured triage process with five defined outcome paths, and peer QA built into every delivery cycle.
  • Planned the agency’s capacity: triaged incoming work in Asana by team availability, deciding whether to take on or delay new requests and SOW commitments, and based cost estimates on the hours each project would need from the team.
  • Program-managed the Kentico v9-to-v11 platform upgrade across TASB.org and 8+ microsites, including internal testing and UAT.
  • Wrote a five-year roadmap for TASB leadership covering all of TASB’s web properties, including the member portal.
