• Overall Experience: 10 to 15 years in software engineering and application delivery management.
• Scale of Leadership: Proven track record of managing a delivery organization of 50 to 100 developers, with demonstrated experience managing a minimum of 4 distinct teams/squads concurrently.

• Metric-Driven Management: Demonstrated ability to manage teams using quantitative delivery metrics (velocity, cycle time, story points per developer per day).
• Quality Enforcement: Strong track record in establishing CI/CD quality gates, code coverage mandates, SIT sign-off criteria, and clean code governance.
• Stakeholder Translation: Ability to translate deep technical metrics, modernization risks, and engineering health into clear, non-technical business language for executive leadership
