Summary

Portfolio governance leader specializing in engineering delivery environments where release timing, validation controls, and cross-team coordination directly impact revenue or regulatory exposure. At Microsoft Commerce Finance, instituted pre-UAT readiness controls that reduced validation cycles 75% while protecting revenue recognition timing and audit defensibility across 3-4 concurrent engineering programs. At Avalara, directed 24 cross-functional contributors to stabilize a fragmented SaaS billing engine across acquired platforms. At T-Mobile, normalized 75+ inconsistent Jira fields into a structured lifecycle model enabling reliable status reporting across 500 initiatives. Combine governance architecture with engineering context to build controls teams can sustain.

Expectations

I'm seeking a Director-level role governing portfolio execution within engineering or software delivery organizations. My best fit is an environment where release timing, validation discipline, and cross-team coordination have direct financial or regulatory stakes not pure development leadership, but the governance layer that ensures engineering output aligns with business commitments. Fully remote from Washington State required. I want to work with engineering leaders who recognize that sustainable velocity requires structural discipline, not just process enforcement. SaaS or platform companies navigating scale or integration complexity are ideal.
