I am comfortable as a change agent developing strategy, aligning teams on a unified vision, and leading from the front to build, empower, and motivate cross-functional teams in project execution. My experience includes management of large global organizations and multimillion-dollar project portfolios, P&Ls, and budgets for industry-leading businesses. Currently, as CIO of private gaming company, Codere, I successfully identified and eliminated portfolio risks and introduced best practices for business process optimization, transparency, and governance. Previously, as Technology CFO for tech-enabled education company, Stride, I supervised a large portfolio, initiated efficiency improvements, and orchestrated a long-term plan for digital innovation to achieve better business and customer outcomes. Earlier, at Caesars Entertainment Group, I implemented industry-leading TBM and Service Now/ITIL protocols to elevate business analytics and enable the business to scale seamlessly. Earlier positions include executive-level finance and procurement roles. The solutions I develop consistently cut costs, save time, facilitate business growth, and ensure compliance while mitigating risk.
