About
Program Manager and Capture Manager (Shipley) with 20+ years leading IT modernization, digital and organizational transformation across healthcare, human capital, and other regulated environments: cultivating trust and alignment in cross-domain teams and designing portfolio governance and strategic execution frameworks that speed decisions and advance mission and business goals.
Impact highlights:
• Back to profitability: stabilized an inherited $5M healthcare modernization program, led a 25-person multi-vendor team, and secured the option year (ICF)
• Turned around a $32M data modernization program segment: led a Lean Six Sigma quality assessment and corrective actions, delivering 2.3M records ahead of schedule above a 99.5% SLA and growing scope to $38M (Northrop Grumman)
• ~40% faster approvals across a $1B+ infrastructure portfolio spanning 500+ sites: designed and owned the lifecycle governance framework and decision gates through executive sign-off (SAIC)
• ~30% efficiency gain across a $65M business unit: assessed current state and root causes, then led a three-year transformation, new operating model, and SAFe-aligned portfolio framework (Noblis)
• $8B contract vehicle Prime Award: co-led capture and win strategy: past performance selection, teaming evaluation, and capability-gap analysis (Peraton)
• 25% budget growth for a nonprofit: built a grant strategy and pipeline that secured ~$225K (Consulting) and increased service-line outreach by 50%
What sets me apart:
I have worked on both sides of the business, delivering professional services as a Program Manager and influencing strategic portfolio growth as a Business Development Executive and Capture Manager. My analysis and executive communications have informed investment decisions for senior executives and customer CIOs. I believe strategy works best when people understand why their work matters, priorities are clear, and decisions lead to action.
Now: advising nonprofits and tech firms on strategy and governance, and pursuing IAPP AI Governance (AIGP) certification.
Open to full-time and contract Program Manager, Capture Manager, and transformation roles: DC area or remote.
