While continuing the PD/Mechanical Engineering Manager role, I stepped into the PM role following the unexpected departure of the previous manager, ensuring continued execution and success of critical programs without a backfill.

Managed cross-functional teams, facilitated collaboration, and kept projects on track by proactively identifying risks and course-correcting as needed.

Owned Smartsheet management to track milestones, dependencies, and deliverables.

Developed and executed ramp plans with vendors, managing up to five vendors simultaneously.
