About Pallavi Appani

I’m a results-driven Senior Project Manager/QA Manager with over 15 years of proven success leading cross-functional teams and delivering high-impact IT, infrastructure, and business transformation projects across healthcare, financial services, consulting, and enterprise technology sectors. Currently, I lead large-scale healthcare IT initiatives at Cape Fear Valley Health, overseeing Epic system upgrades, clinic expansions, data center migrations, and cross-departmental process improvements across eight hospitals. My career includes notable roles at Capgemini (supporting KPMG), BMW, AT & T, and others—managing multimillion-dollar programs, optimizing complex SDLC lifecycles, and executing end-to-end strategies that drive measurable outcomes. Known for my ability to bridge the gap between business and technology, I excel in Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid environments—leading enterprise-level migrations to Azure, implementing change management strategies, and driving efficiency through data-driven decisions. Core Strengths: • Program & Project Management (PMP® Certified) • Strategic Planning & Change Leadership • Cross-Functional Collaboration • SDLC & QA Process Optimization • Budget & Vendor Management • Cloud & Data Center Migrations (Azure, On-prem to Cloud), ServiceNow • Healthcare IT (Epic, Orion, Workday) • Agile / Waterfall / Hybrid Delivery Models I thrive in environments that challenge the status quo and value strategic execution, collaboration, and innovation. I’m currently exploring new opportunities to contribute to forward-thinking teams focused on growth and operational excellence. Feel free to connect or reach out directly at pallaviappani@gmail.com.
