THE EXECUTIVE
From Defense Acquisitions to School Governance
$250M Acquisition Management
Led defense acquisition programs up to $250 million. The same rigor applied to evaluating school district budgets, vendor contracts, and capital spending.
Cornell-Certified Analytics
Business Analytics certification from Cornell University. Data-driven decision making for enrollment projections, budget modeling, and performance tracking.
CompTIA Security+
Certified in cybersecurity fundamentals. Directly relevant to protecting student data privacy and evaluating district technology investments.
Senior Product Manager
As a Product Manager, I lead product development for defense technology systems that protect American service members and allies. This role demands precision, strategic thinking, and the ability to coordinate complex initiatives across multiple teams and stakeholders.
Working at the cutting edge of technology has given me a unique perspective on how innovation can solve seemingly impossible problems. Our schools deserve that same innovative approach; not bureaucratic status quo thinking.
Multi-Million Dollar Budget Management
I've managed budgets exceeding what many school districts spend annually. This experience has taught me how to maximize value from every dollar, identify waste, and make strategic investments that deliver measurable returns.
School committee members are stewards of taxpayer money. They need to understand financial management, not just rubber-stamp administrative recommendations. I bring the fiscal expertise to ask the hard questions and demand accountability.
Complex Project Leadership
Technical project management requires balancing competing priorities, managing risk, and delivering results on schedule. These skills translate directly to school board governance, where complex initiatives often stall due to poor planning and execution.
Whether it's implementing new educational technology, managing construction projects, or rolling out district-wide initiatives, I bring proven methodologies for turning plans into reality. Our students can't wait for endless deliberation; they need action.
