Andrew MacGregor - Strategic Technology Executive

Engineering Predictability and Value Capture

Enterprise portfolio and IT finance governance leader who restores predictability and captures integration value during modernization and post-merger environments. Builds governance operating models (EPMO/SPM), TBM cost transparency, and executive cadence so trade-offs are explicit and delivery, budget, and continuity stay controlled.

Mandates: 3/6/9-month interim or acting leadership to restore portfolio control, stabilize forecasting, and capture integration value (post-merger integration, restructuring, CIO transition).

Rapid Domain Ramp (The 80/20 Rule)

~80% of enterprise mechanics are universal (finance, governance, controls, delivery). I apply those mechanics immediately and ramp the domain-specific 20% quickly — so leaders get cadence without onboarding lag.
