Background

About Aakash Patel

I am a results-driven, technically advanced, and insightful Principal Software Delivery Project Program Manager with significant experience managing all aspects of technical programs. I effectively build and empower high performance from cross-functional teams, liaise with internal and external stakeholders, and engage in Agile methodology integration and continuous improvement to drive efficiency, cost savings, and leadership development. Professional focal points include governance framework development, full lifecycle program management, product development/delivery, quantitative problem solving, data and business analysis, complex communication, technical risk mitigation, actionable IT insights, stakeholder relations, project coordination, resource allocation, and team leadership. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective interpersonal, communication and organizational skills, negotiation abilities, as well as research and design, and resource management to support optimal outcomes. Currently, I am Principal Business Manager – HR Tech and Analytics with AT & T. With a strong technical background in building highly scalable platforms and products, I lead world-class teams of technical program managers to power real-time, intelligent experiences. I identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the delivery life cycle, while also simplifying complex concepts to drive well-educated decisions across product, engineering, design, and data science teams. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, technically astute project management and technical program leader who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver ideal results within budget and mission-based parameters. I am pursuing new opportunities and can be reached through this profile, or by phone at: 469-758-9344.
