Case Studies

Four programs. Four different kinds of complexity.

A closer look at four of the engagements behind that track record — spanning P&C insurance, global banking, and healthcare payer technology.

Progressive Insurance & Nonprofits Insurance Alliance

Running three concurrent P&C programs without losing a beat

Majesco · Delivery Manager → Program Manager, P&C Insurance · Mar 2022–Present

Own end-to-end delivery of multi-million-dollar Majesco Policy and Billing Suite implementations for US P&C carriers, orchestrating three concurrent programs across Workers' Compensation, Commercial Auto, and other commercial lines, meeting scope, schedule, and budget on every release. Agile at scale runs across distributed onshore-offshore teams of 10–40, lifting sprint predictability and throughput 15% — and AI tooling built into status, RAID, and stakeholder communication has cut reporting cycles by 30%, returning roughly 6 hours of PMO capacity to delivery every week.

Steadying Agile delivery across a global bank's transformation teams

Globant · Agile Project Manager, Digital Transformation · Apr 2021–Feb 2022

Led multiple end-to-end digital transformation programs, steering cross-functional Agile teams across locations. Drove Scrum ways of working to reduce rework and lift stakeholder confidence, and established program governance — risk and issue management, structured status reporting — so problems surfaced early instead of at release time.

Predictable delivery for a broker-facing insurance portal

StatusNeo · Scrum Master / Principal Consultant · Nov 2020–Apr 2021

Led Scrum delivery for the Broker Portal — a suite of tools helping external brokers and internal agents onboard customers and manage existing health insurance policies. Worked closely with product owners and business SMEs to clarify requirements and align releases to business milestones, and put governance routines in place — status reports, RAID logs, stakeholder reviews — that cut down last-minute escalations.

Get in Touch

Have a program that needs a steady hand?

If it involves a core insurance system, a distributed delivery team, or a portfolio that needs honest governance — I'd like to hear about it.

Let's Connect

Still learning, still building.

Technology never sits still, and neither do I — 24+ years in, I still start every engagement the way I started the first one: curious. Whether it's a distributed Agile team finding its rhythm or a new AI tool reshaping how governance gets done, I'm drawn to the programs where steady delivery and continuous learning have to work side by side. If that's the kind of partner you're looking for, the door's open.
