About Crisel
I help organizations deliver complex digital and IT initiatives from planning through execution, ensuring alignment across business, technology, and operations.
With over 20 years of experience, I have worked across consulting, SaaS, and manufacturing environments, leading cross-functional teams on projects involving system implementations, cloud migration, and process improvement.
My focus is execution — turning plans into results. I manage dependencies, risks, and stakeholder alignment to keep initiatives moving forward, especially in complex or regulated environments.
I have supported initiatives such as ERP and SaaS implementations, cloud migration to Azure, UAT strategy and execution, and integration of systems across finance, logistics, and engineering teams. I also leverage AI tools to improve delivery efficiency, particularly in planning, documentation, and testing.
I am comfortable working with distributed teams across the US and Europe and focus on clear communication, structured execution, and reliable delivery.
