Senior PMO & Change Adoption Lead | Digital Transformation & Governance | PM² Certified
Complex technological projects rarely fail because of the technology itself; they fail due to organizational friction and human resistance.
As a Production Engineer, MBA, and PM² Certified professional (European Commission), I act as the operational bridge between Steering Committees and technical teams. I design and execute strict governance and adoption architectures to ensure that investments in Digital Transformation, AI, and IT migrations generate a demonstrable ROI, without disrupting business continuity.
I bring over 15 years of experience orchestrating complex ecosystems in highly regulated sectors (Energy, Pharma, Telecom, and Finance):
- Governance & PMO Leadership: Operational direction of corporate portfolios with up to 54 simultaneous projects under strict financial control and audit parameters.
- Digital Adoption at Scale: Led Change Management (ADKAR) for global technology migrations impacting 19 countries, mitigating adoption risks for over 290,000 end-users and reducing re-work by 80%.
- Stakeholder Alignment: Orchestrated multi-disciplinary teams and facilitated executive consensus in leading corporations (Enel, Ecopetrol, Massy Energy) and multilateral agencies (UN / USAID).
My objective is to integrate into organizations that require structure, predictability, and a firm commitment to making technological evolution the new operational normal.
🛠️ Tech Stack & Governance Tools:
I leverage the precise technological stack required to ensure strict governance and seamless adoption:
- Enterprise Governance & PMO: MS Project (Financial control, critical path, and demand management).
- Agile & Digital Transformation: Jira (Sprint traceability).
- Ops & Change Management: Monday (Collaborative work management).
- Strategic Facilitation: Miro / Mural (Change roadmap, and ecosystem architecture).
