PROGRAM & PORTFOLIO MANAGER | CLOUD OPERATIONS & DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

About Me

Program & Portfolio Manager driving cloud transformation and operational excellence at scale. Delivered $300K+ annual savings, 86% SLA gains, and 60% faster delivery cycles. Expert in FinOps, Agile scaling, and AI-driven optimization across GCP, Azure, and AWS. I am a builder and a problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of technical complexity and business growth. Over the years, my work has shifted from local retail projects to leading global cloud transformations, but my goal has remained the same: cutting through the noise to build operations that actually work. I take pride in turning "technical debt" into measurable savings and helping teams move faster without losing their way. Living in Spain and working globally, I believe that clear communication and financial accountability are the most powerful tools for driving real, lasting change in an organization
