• Reimagine the service delivery methodology for Oracle Utilities
  • Redesign the Oracle Utilities implementation playbook for a simpler customer segment
  • Develop repeatable consulting methodologies, tools, and playbooks to prioritize speed over customization, while ensuring a best-in-class customer experience for local government utilities customers
