Background

About Eric Cicogna

I’m a retired Air Force veteran and experienced PMO leader with a proven record of driving alignment, accountability, and delivery across large, complex programs. My focus is turning strategy into execution - leading IT portfolios, vendor ecosystems, and cross-functional initiatives that create measurable business value. With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, public sector, and shared services environments, I’ve built and led PMOs that bring clarity and consistency to fast-moving organizations. Whether it’s modernizing infrastructure, optimizing vendor performance, or guiding enterprise transformation, I bring calm, structured leadership that helps teams deliver results without burnout. Core Strengths: • PMO Leadership & Governance • IT Portfolio & Program Management • Vendor & Procurement Strategy • Process Improvement & Value Realization • Cross-Functional Alignment & Delivery My leadership style is steady, transparent, and people-first - the kind that keeps projects moving, stakeholders informed, and teams engaged. I believe strong PMOs don’t just manage projects; they create focus, eliminate noise, and enable lasting organizational success. Beyond the office, I invest in the next generation through the Louisville Darts Academy, a youth program I founded to teach focus, sportsmanship, and confidence through competition.
