about:
As a Partner at ISG, I lead the firm’s Cost Optimization and Transformation practice, helping global enterprises achieve sustainable savings, agility, and innovation. My work goes beyond traditional procurement — I help clients unlock value through AI-driven cost optimization, technology arbitrage, and outcome-based operating models that align business goals with measurable results.

Over my career, I’ve delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in savings and advised more than 100 corporations across industries. My approach integrates digital technology, process transparency, and organizational change to optimize supplier ecosystems and accelerate capability acquisition — all while reducing risk and enhancing performance.

My experience spans solution design, partner ecosystem orchestration, transformation management, and next-generation sourcing, encompassing integrators, SaaS, PaaS, network, cybersecurity, and managed services. I focus on helping clients achieve not only better costs, but also improved control, accuracy, and strategic insight.

Previously, I led ISG’s Global Software Advisory practice, advising on many of the world’s largest enterprise software transactions. I have also held senior roles leading ISG’s work in IT Services Sourcing, Global Business Services, and sector leadership across Banking and Healthcare. Before joining ISG, I led IBM’s global Sourcing and Category Management BPO business, serving more than 30 multinational clients.

A strong RFI starts before the RFI document is written.

Too many IT management evaluations begin with feature lists.

That creates predictable problems:

- Scores look similar
- Differentiation gets pushed into demos
- Operating model fit is underweighted
- Governance gaps appear after selection

AI-assisted development is already inside many engineering organizations.

The governance choice is not adoption or no adoption. It is managed adoption or unmanaged adoption.

The stronger path is a governed SDLC that protects code, data and architecture while still improving developer productivity.

Observability is becoming the evidence layer for Enterprise Control Architecture.

That is a bigger role than monitoring.

Monitoring asks: Is something broken?
Observability asks: What is happening, why is it happening and what should we do next?

In an increasingly autonomous operating model, that evidence becomes essential.

Five evidence requirements matter:

about:
I’m a purpose-driven, seasoned leader with a passion for advancing organizational health and talent together to drive sustainable growth.

From aligning to business strategy and designing talent solutions, to fostering careers, talent and leadership pipelines, and building skills for the future, investing in people builds enduring value for themselves and companies - that which extends beyond company walls to families, customers, and communities. I draw inspiration from extending that ripple effect.

My passion is creating and scaling environments where talent can truly grow and thrive while generating value. My approach combines a strategic vision with operational rigor and effectiveness. I execute talent operating models and systems that ensure enablement reaches all hands in every corner at any level, empowering people and teams to grow and succeed together.

I architect strategy that addresses firm and leader needs at pace, as well as at scale across the workforce and for the whole person, such as in early career, commercial, technical, digital, professional, leadership, or well-being. I’m bullish on inclusion and belonging, highest and best use, and putting expectations, apprenticing, feedback, and helping others at the center, building and rewarding those activities as culturally integral.

With a broad background in talent enablement - analytics, AI, digital platforms, D&I, skills and capabilities, performance, coaching, academies, leader development, instructional design, change management, careers/succession, etc. - I bring effective solutions in talent processes and offerings, as well as agility and insight to bespoke challenges. I partner with executives to garner alignment, investment, and resources, and create impactful, data-informed plans and solutions
