Highlights
🤖 Enterprise AI Governance Program
Context: Rapid enterprise adoption of generative AI tools — including Microsoft 365 Copilot — created governance, security, and compliance gaps across a 6,000-person global organization with European operations subject to the EU AI Act.
Action: Served as Enterprise Architecture authority for AI governance. Co-authored the global AI usage policy with Legal and Engineering. Developed an EU AI Act-aligned risk classification framework to categorize enterprise AI applications. Partnered with Digital Security to enforce Microsoft Purview sensitivity labeling and access controls before Copilot deployment into regulated SharePoint environments. Deployed Viva Insights and built Power BI dashboards to measure adoption and productivity impact across a structured 300-user pilot.
Outcome: Established formal AI governance before enterprise-wide expansion, reduced risk exposure through documented guardrails and decision logs, and gave executives data-driven insights to guide licensing investment decisions across the organization.
🏛️ Enterprise IT Governance Structure Design
Context: Following AVEVA's acquisition of OSIsoft, the newly formed Enterprise Architecture function had the beginnings of formal governance structure, limited visibility into active initiatives, and inconsistent involvement in project decisions.
Action: Designed and embedded a TOGAF-aligned governance model spanning ARB, CAB, and TSC forums. Maintained, enhanced, and publicized a company-wide SharePoint repository for architecture decision records, application and integration catalogs, roadmaps, and portfolio assessments. Integrated EA review into PMO stage gates and procurement workflows, establishing formal approval authority at defined project checkpoints. Built relationships with PMO, Procurement, and Vendor Management to ensure early EA engagement on incoming initiatives.
Outcome: Shifted EA from reactive reviewer to proactive strategic partner. Improved architecture transparency across the organization, reduced late-stage EA ineffectiveness through earlier engagement, and created a documented, auditable governance trail for all major technology decisions.
🧩 Post-Acquisition Platform Rationalization
Context: Following AVEVA's acquisition of OSIsoft, both companies brought in overlapping application portfolios across Marketing, Sales, HR, Legal, and Finance — creating redundancy, integration inconsistency, and growing technical debt across global operations.
Action: Applied Gartner's TIME framework to assess department-level application portfolios in collaboration with business stakeholders. Built a Power BI dashboard to visualize application health by business function. Developed a multi-year consolidation roadmap defining current-state and target-state architectures, with phased retirement and migration plans. Standardized on platforms including Salesforce, Workday, and Marketo, retiring redundant tools including HubSpot and legacy OSIsoft systems.
Outcome: Delivered an authoritative enterprise application catalog used as a trusted reference for audits and procurement decisions, reduced application redundancy by approximately 10%, and produced a phased roadmap that drove a multi-year harmonization program now nearing completion.
⚙️ ERP Transformation & Licensing Continuity
Context: OSIsoft's retirement of SAP's variant product configurator was a critical dependency of a mission-critical licensing web service that supported the company's flagship product. Any disruption would have directly impacted customer licensing operations.
Action: Led the re-architecture of the licensing web service API and directed the rewrite of core SQL stored procedures to shift foundational data dependencies from the SAP variant configurator to Salesforce. Coordinated integration updates across enterprise platforms to preserve interoperability and operational stability throughout the transition. Validated continuity through rigorous testing prior to decommissioning the legacy system.
Outcome: Maintained uninterrupted licensing operations for the flagship product throughout a complex ERP transformation, eliminating customer-facing risk and enabling clean decommissioning of legacy SAP infrastructure.
🔀 CRM Migration & Data Continuity
Context: A company-wide migration from on-premises Microsoft Dynamics CRM to Salesforce risked permanently losing access to years of historical customer records and attachment data stored in the legacy CRM system.
Action: Designed and developed a custom C# utility to extract attachments from key CRM objects, archive them to a secure shared file repository, and log file paths in SQL for future reference and retrieval through a SQL report. Coordinated the migration alongside integration updates to ensure platform continuity and data accessibility after legacy system decommissioning.
Outcome: Preserved access to historical customer data across the organization, enabled clean decommissioning of legacy on-premises CRM infrastructure, and ensured business continuity throughout one of the company's most significant platform transitions.
👥 Workday Enterprise Rollout
Context: OSIsoft's enterprise-wide rollout of Workday (replacing ADP as the company's HRIS platform) required maximum workforce adoption across business units with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
Action: Led the full change management strategy over a 7-month program, covering impacts to business processes, job roles, and organizational structures. Designed and produced a multi-channel adoption campaign spanning role-based training materials, pocket guides, instructional videos, and in-person events. Coached executives and senior leaders on their responsibilities as change sponsors, building visible organizational support for the transition. Partnered with the global systems integrator consulting team to align change activities with technical deployment milestones and validate readiness prior to go-live.
Outcome: Achieved enterprise-wide go-live with no material business disruption, high workforce adoption across business units, and positioned Workday as a trusted platform among employees and leadership.
