Experience, Professionalism & Results That Matter


With a career spanning public and private sectors across New Zealand, Australia, and now the USA, I bring global experience and local insight to every project I lead. Currently based in Houston, Texas, I specialize in delivering high-impact digital transformation projects across government, public, and private enterprises.


🔹Results-Driven Project Delivery 


Organizations bring me in to deliver projects professionally, on time, within budget, and in alignment with industry standards and compliance frameworks. I ensure each engagement is guided by a clear roadmap, robust risk management, and an adaptive change control strategy.


🔹Change Management Gatekeeper 


One of my most critical roles as a Project Manager is serving as the Gatekeeper of Change Requests, ensuring every change is justified, impact-assessed, and aligned with project goals before it reaches execution.


🔹Entrepreneurial & Cross-Cultural Experience


My background as both an entrepreneur and corporate professional enables me to bridge business strategy with execution. I’ve worked with diverse teams, dynamic markets, and evolving technologies, always focused on turning vision into tangible results.


Whether leading Agile teams, integrating enterprise systems, or managing multi-vendor environments, I approach every challenge with clarity, discipline, and a relentless focus on value.

About Me

Creativity Meets Technology & AI


I am a versatile problem-solver with a passion for blending creativity, technology, and agile leadership to drive meaningful change.


🎵 As a musician, I’ve released three albums and multiple singles, each a product of structured planning, creative vision, and iterative refinement—just like a well-run project.


📸 As a photographer, I was honored to be a finalist in the 2012 Canon EOS5 APAC Creative Photography Competition, applying storytelling and composition to capture moments with precision and intent.


These creative pursuits sharpened my project management instincts: enabling me to know when to lead, when to pivot, and how to turn vision into deliverables.


🏞️ I thrive outdoors, enjoy public speaking and mentoring, and stay active through various sports. However, what truly fuels me is my curiosity about innovation and emerging technology.

My Approach

I have had the privileges to work with businesses from startups to their maturity stage. I have been working with some of the fantastic entrepreneurs for the last 15 years. I understand culture and diversity. My solution and discussion are always transparent and straightforward. I not only speak technical but also business language to make my client understand how well I have followed their business, processes, expectations, and the challenges that they are facing. I believe in simplicity, and my solutions are straightforward and transparent. Technology is integrated to make the business process faster and error free. Not to mention making it less complicated. I am the bridge between business and technical users.

What I Do Best

Even though in post Waterfall methodology era of Agile everything - drawing up a proper project plan is still a pride of any project manager. It is because the typical questions asked by clients remains the same. Queries always include the timeframe of the project or task completion, cost of phases, what and how will it be delivered. Most importantly, the project plan helps you ascertain whether the project is on track or not. My project plan will always include phases of projects, tasks in each stage, task start and end dates, interdependencies, and milestones. Dynamic Gantt chart is my favorite, and in some cases, I put together Power BI dashboard for interactive visual reporting.

Are you happy
with your PMO?

Project initiation is triggered often by the needs and wants of the departments. In most cases, stakeholders start without any formal planning. The common assumption is, it is going to be simple and manageable. No project procedures followed. Very little communication takes place between departments and teams. Suddenly budgets are over-run. Business finds themselves in a sticky situation. Sometimes so-called PMO is established, but no one takes the initiatives to introduce the daily standup procedures or methodologies. There are hypes about Agile and Hybrid, but no training or change management in place!
