• Oversee complex release cycles, CI/CD pipelines, and environment management (Sandboxes/Scratch Orgs) while balancing project budgets and timelines.
• Act as a strategic partner to business leaders, managing expectations and providing transparent updates on project health and platform roadmaps.

• Extensive experience leading Salesforce delivery teams and managing the full project lifecycle in both Agile and Waterfall environments.
• A deep understanding of Salesforce best practices, platform health, and the "clicks-before-code" philosophy.
