About

From IT Recruiting → Enterprise PMO & Contingent Workforce — 14+ years of building programs that perform.

I'm an MSP Program Consultant and Contingent Workforce Specialist with over 14 years of experience across procurement-aligned workforce programs, VMS platforms, and PMO delivery. My career began in technical IT recruiting, where I developed a sharp eye for sourcing, stakeholder alignment, and candidate lifecycle management across niche domains like cybersecurity and cloud engineering.

Over time, I moved into program and account management roles — overseeing $200M+ staffing portfolios, migrating enterprise clients into VMS and HRIS systems (Fieldglass, Beeline, Workday), and building the SOPs and governance frameworks that keep global programs running cleanly.

At SimplifyVMS, I managed 20+ enterprise client portfolios, delivered Power BI dashboards to executive stakeholders, and led onboarding programs that generated $5M+ in new ARR. Most recently at Roche, I serve as a Global Talent Partner — aligning talent acquisition strategy with contingent workforce goals across global business units. I hold CCSE and CPEH credentials, adding a technical precision layer to every program I lead.
