With more than 20 years of experience across Microsoft, T-Mobile, Avalara, Doosan GridTech, and Policani Consulting Services, Marco builds the operating layer that helps leaders qualify demand, commit capacity against evidence, and distinguish funded, build-ready, blocked, and decision-pending work. His strongest areas are portfolio governance, EPMO/PMO formation, intake and readiness design, capacity planning, strategic operations, and executive decision support across hybrid Agile and waterfall environments. At T-Mobile, Marco rebuilt governance for an approximately 500-initiative revenue-technology portfolio and reduced average delivery cycle time by 65%, from about 340 to 120 days. At Microsoft Software Assurance, he unified eight global programs governing approximately $18.5 billion in contract exposure and contributed to recovery of approximately $13 million in improper reimbursements. At Avalara, he established CIO/CFO/COO-sponsored governance across 500–700 initiatives, and at Doosan GridTech he connected three utility-scale BESS deployments totaling about 100 MW and $125 million into a single CTO/COO decision view. Marco applies AI with human review for portfolio hygiene, exception review, dependency analysis, and decision support. ## Services - Digital Transformation - Writing - Career Development - Document Management -
