PMP® & PgMP® Mentor · Author · PMBOK® Contributor

I don’t just teach the standards. I helped write them.

For over 16 years I led end-to-end programs at Microsoft, Tech Mahindra and Sapient. Today I do two things well: get professionals through PMP with a day-by-day plan — and get senior program managers through the two places PgMP candidates actually stall: the panel review and the exam.

The practitioner’s edge

Before transitioning into full-time mentorship in 2014, I worked as a Trusted Advisor at Microsoft EPG, managing diverse virtual teams and multinational customers. I have seen firsthand where most candidates fail — and it is rarely the theory. It is the plan. That is why I created the Pass PMP in 21 Days methodology: a day-by-day path that turns abstract theory into actionable results. Not sure where you stand?

The PgMP difference: the exam is not the hard part

Most PgMP candidates do not fail the exam — they stall at the application and panel review, where experience must be framed the way PMI evaluates it. My PgMP workshops are built around exactly that bottleneck, and every session is aligned to the current 5th edition Standard for Program Management and the 2024 ECO — not recycled material from an older edition.
