Background

About Justin Hunter

I’m an outcome-driven, strategic PMO leader and transformational change agent, passionate about driving successful outcomes while building lasting organizational change. My approach combines human insight, technical acumen, and strategic thinking to not only deliver projects, but also create lasting impacts that drive measurable results and a stronger culture.With 15 years of experience leading cross-functional teams and change, I understand that transformational success requires balancing tools, people, processes, experience, and governance. Effective change isn’t about simplifying complex issues - it’s about making the hard choices in a controlled, deliberate way to achieve lasting organizational capabilities.A lifelong learner, I began my career as a waterfall project manager and have since evolved into an agile and lean delivery leader, continuously improving my methods. I have also found no classroom learning has replaced the practical lessons of implementing novel processes into organizations, integrating organizations after M&A events, and working to become culturally intelligent in international organizations. I love being an advocate-leader for teams and building high-performing teams where psychological safety is paramount. I believe that accountability thrives when people feel safe to admit mistakes and learn from them, and that starts with leaders modeling vulnerability.Recently, I took a year off to reflect on what drives organizational success, study disciplined agile principles, engage mentors who challenge and help me grow as a leader, continue to help others learn through my tutoring practice, and pursue personal goals, including conquering Chopin’s "Heroic" Polonaise on the piano.AREAS OF EXPERTISE:• Strategic Planning• Project Prioritization, Alignment, & Balancing• Strategic Governance• Solutions Road Mapping• System Integrations• Business Process Architecture • Full-Cycle Portfolio, Program, & Project Management• Enterprise Digital Transformation• Data Analytics Storytelling & KPIs• Enterprise Risk Management • Business Intelligence• PMO Creation & Leadership • Stakeholder Communications & Cross-Functional Team Leadership • Multi-Dimensional Facilitation • Project Budget & Cost Management • Comprehensive Change Leadership• Complex Problem Solving• Design Thinking
