Additionally, I lead and partner with the program management functions across multiple organizations to approach the "little things" with as much energy as we do the big strategies. I do this by selecting the right tools (Atlassian Suite, Asana, Salesforce.com, tableau, and others), managing their implementations, and managing the business process changes to take advantage of them. Most notably, I lead the agile transformation of 2 product & engineering organizations and the implementation of SFDC as the business process platform for the organization. Both of which will support the scale of the organization for years to come.
