Program management, close to the metal.
I run infrastructure programs — the ones that touch racks, radios,
network gear, and the applications that sit above them. Most of the
work involves getting hardware, software, and store operations to
agree on the same reality, then keeping that agreement visible while
it changes.
I like programs where the outcome means the same thing to the
operator on the floor and the VP on the slide — same numbers,
same story.
My last decade has been at Nordstrom, running programs inside
Technology Support Services and the Infrastructure Services Group.
Before that, I spent years in commercial banking systems and
store technology consulting.
Some of it is people work: getting store leads, network engineers,
DBAs, and product managers onto the same plan. Some of it is
technical: sizing a data platform, choosing between RFID sled
vendors, deciding when Power Apps is enough and when it isn't.
Most of the value comes from doing both at the same time, without
pretending one is the other.
I write documentation people actually read, I build the dashboards
I promise, and I don't ship a program until the operating model
behind it is real. When something doesn't work, I say so early.
