Independent Program Advisory

Program Advisory for Complex Programs

I help global organizations get complex transformation programs back on track — governance, post-M&A integration, executive reporting and automation. 9+ years across these programs, from hands-on engineering to leading them globally.

The challenge

Complex programs stall where they get hardest to manage

Post-M&A complexity

Two tech stacks, two ways of working, and a roadmap nobody fully owns.

Fragmented governance

Multiple regions and vendors with no common framework or single source of truth.

No executive visibility

Leadership lacks a reliable, real-time view of status, risk and delivery.

Manual, slow reporting

Teams burning hours on the same reports instead of driving the program.

The result: expensive teams stuck on low-value work, and decisions made on outdated data.

What I do

Senior IT Global Program Manager
Madrid, Spain · Spanish (native) · English (C1)

Senior program manager specialized in governance, executive reporting, post-M&A integration and automation across global financial institutions and industrial multinationals. My path started in engineering — building the systems before I led the programs around them. That technical foundation is what lets me cut through complexity others only manage from the outside: when I scope an automation, a BPM platform or a post-M&A tech harmonization, I know exactly what it takes to deliver it. I bring the discipline of large-scale global programs to solve, in weeks, what would take a team months.
