Michael C.

Dynamic Senior Technical Program Manager with over 25 years of experience leading complex, cross-functional software engineering, product delivery, and enterprise data platform initiatives. Proven expertise navigating high ambiguity to bring structure to bleeding-edge technology domains, with a deep specialization in applied Generative AI (LLMs), intelligent automation orchestration, and high-scale platform interoperability. Expert at standing at the nexus of strategic planning and engineering execution—equally comfortable collaborating with machine learning scientists on model tradeoffs as presenting data-driven recommendations to C-suite executives. A strategic partner recognized for driving multi-year technical roadmaps, proactively mitigating distributed program risks, and accelerating product adoption to deliver unprecedented user value.

Successful projects include:

• Generative AI & LLM Program Delivery: Led highly ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives integrating generative AI and natural-language querying into enterprise BI and content discovery workflows. Navigated rapidly evolving infrastructure capabilities by successfully migrating legacy data environments to utilize the newly released Snowflake Cortex semantic layer, fundamentally enhancing system intelligence and query precision.

• ML Program Orchestration: End-to-end program managed a complex, high-visibility Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) initiative powered by a custom, in-house Machine Learning model developed by the Data Science team. Aligned strict technical data contracts, pipeline reliability parameters, and execution schedules across distributed product and engineering units.

• Cloud Infrastructure Migration: Program-managed a multi-year migration framework transferring core On-Premises datacenter workloads to AWS, ensuring zero disruption to live production environments and robust data security.

• Engineering Excellence: Implemented optimized Agile and Scrum methodologies across engineering squads, eliminating development roadblocks, optimizing resource allocation, and accelerating feature delivery velocity.

• Executive Governance: Authored and implemented critical compliance processes, risk assessment matrices, and clear delivery reporting structures for senior engineering and product leadership.
