Summary

As a Global Operations Leader with a footprint across 4 continents, I build processes, systems, and

infrastructures that sustain corporate strategies, align with business goals, and reduce costs.

Deploying 5 Centers of Excellence, I pioneered best practices that produced high-value, deep-impact, large

scale solutions. My efforts earned nominations for 2008, 2010 and 2011 Barclays Woman of the Year

Award, and I was selected for and completed the inaugural Eagle Leadership Program designed for top 10%

and organizational insights to achieve groundbreaking initiatives and ROI around the world.
