Maimoona Shafeeq

I am Maimoona, a Software engineer turned Software Delivery Manager (PMP in process), & I bring 8+ years of software delivery management experience in shaping & leading SaaS / Enterprise level solutions. Having delivered 5+ projects with budgets over $1 million (last 2 years) & driving 10% reduction in project delays, I am the one you are looking for.

In my current role as Head of Delivery, I have negotiated vendor contracts, planned & managed complex projects for the FRABEN region. I have delivered solutions for industries including Shipping/Logistics, Energy, Aerospace, & Automotive.

Leveraging my analytical skills, I implemented a data-driven lessons learned process in a matrix organization which for the past 2 quarters, resulted in not only a 200+ hours reduction in non-billables, but also improved knowledge visibility.

As an added responsibility, I built an outsourced cross-functional team from ground up 15% faster & for 30% less cost without compromising on the quality.

In my earlier experience as a Technical Delivery Manager, I built a cross-functional agile team from scratch & scaled it to 6 teams in less than 2 years, resulting in a revenue of $2.75 million.

Proficiency in Agile & Waterfall methodologies, financial forecasting, risk management, & escalation management enabled me to exceed expectations & KPIs, while leading & managing globally distributed software teams, optimizing resource utilization, & problem solving helped efficient management. But I don't know everything & learn everyday.

My commitment to learning is everlasting, & my current learning paths include:
