Bio

With over 20 years of experience in leading and managing IT projects and operations in the higher education and media sectors, I am the Assistant Vice President of IT Operations at The New School, a progressive and innovative university in New York City. My mission is to align IT with the university's vision and values, and to enable academic and administrative excellence through technology.

I oversee the strategic planning, program execution, and partnership development for IT, as well as the Project and Portfolio Management Office (PPMO). I champion innovative and effective business operations that support the New School's culture of creativity, diversity, and social justice. I also leverage my skills and credentials in ITIL, PMP, and CSM to facilitate IT transformation and deliver value to the university community.
