About Renee
I have provided freelance Program & Project management services for more than 20 years. With each consecutive program or project over the years I have taken on more and more complex initiatives being fascinated by finding my own growth edge for what I could make successful. With each endeavor I learned more and more about people, process and technology and I have yet to find that program or project that can’t achieve success with the appropriate management. I look forward to all the challenges that this work brings to me every single day.

What clients say
Renee is an amazing Executive and I am so grateful to have worked with her over the last 5 years. She is highly driven, professional and incredibly smart! Leveraging her mastery of Agile principles, Renee has the ability to manage teams located all over the world, get them synchronized and have them delivering on interdependent components of a program to bring results, prevent delays and to proactively reduce any chance of rework. She leads her teams with rigor, a relentless results focus and a customer-centric perspective. Her teams respect and follow because they trust her leadership, know that she is an advocate for their success and know that she brings the technical know-how to understand the details. If I had a global project with high complexity and multiple work streams running in parallel, Renee was always my go to.
If I had a program that was struggling, Renee was my go to. If I had a program where the team or client dynamics needed attention, Renee was my go to. She is that kind…that one of a kind… executive consultant. Once a client witnessed what she was capable of, they did not want to let her go. Everywhere she works, she leaves a lasting and very positive impression… executives remember her.
Debora Langer
Global Vice President- Professional Services
Renee was a key leader and Program Manager for a large digital transformation and customer experience improvement initiative. As a part of that initiative, Renee was responsible for shifting our entire eCommerce fulfillment operations from one provider to another. I was the key sponsor for this part of the initiative and could not be more proud of the work that she and the team delivered. Renee managed this initiative while ensuring the needs of our customers were planned for and their expectations were the highest priority. Renee was able to manage this complex initiative with multiple vendor partners and competing priorities, all while ensuring that risks and issues were managed appropriately and in alignment with our Senior Leadership team’s direction. Additionally, she clearly and effectively communicated across the enterprise and naturally assimilated to become a valued member of the team. Renee is a key resource that I would eagerly call on again for my next complex initiative!
Chris McCurdy
Sr. Vice President of Supply Chain at PetSmart
Renee was a key leader & Program Manager in a large Digital Transformation & Customer Experience improvement initiative. Renee was able to balance the complex needs of a multi-faceted program balancing the planning, budgeting and the people necessary to achieve complex corporate goals. Renee’s clear & direct style of communication ensures that I, as a program sponsor, was always well informed and knew immediately those key areas where I could serve the team as a point of escalation. Renee is a key resource that I would go to again in the future!!!
Becky Ploeger
Global Head of Reservations and Customer Care at Hilton | CCW Advisory Board Member
Renee is a truly outstanding Program Manager, especially for BI/Data/Integration projects. It is rare to find someone who can simultaneously balance the planning, budgeting, people management, and other activities managing a complex set of programs, but then to also have the technical depth to understand the work that the teams are doing is rare and very valuable. As a project sponsor, the ideal program leader can clearly see the risks and roadblocks, figure out what is real and what isn't, and then communicate for impact and Renee nails all of those. Finally, her candor is refreshing -- you always know exactly what you need to know and don't have to worry that it is being sugar coated. Renee can run large, complex programs for me any time I can get her in and is on a short list of people I would work with side by side without hesitation.
Michael Barte
Managing Director at World Wide Technology
Renee is an excellent and very detailed project manager. She is the program/project manager for a large and complicated EDI conversion effort at PetSmart. Renee is intelligent, results driven, professional, and communicates well. Would not hesitate to utilize her again on projects or large programs.
Jeff Huckaby
Renee came in midway into a project to deploy a Master Data Management Application when we were lacking experience in Agile development. She stepped in and immediately brought control and consistency to the project.
She work with all the team to understand their concerns and to identify the true critical path. She implemented daily scrums, sprint reviews and architecture meetings that were very effective.
Renee has great communications skills and quickly adapts to the business culture. She helped us to successfully deploy the MDM application.
Renee would be a great asset to any organization.
