Rizvi's PMO Inc .

Over the span of my career, I have worked in small organizations (50-100 people) like PdMAIN and very large organizations like Cardinal Health ( Fortune 16) and everything in between. 

• I have set up and led Project Management Offices (PMO's) and strategy execution frameworks multiple times in my career in organizations like PdMAiN, Workopolis, D+H, Cardinal Health and Pivotree,

• I have also led and managed large programs and projects like:

  •  B2B & B2C ecommerce implementations (Cardinal Health, Workopolis & Pivotree)

  • Over 20 small and large ERP evaluations & implementations (PdMAIN, Workopolis, Cardinal Health)

  • Integrations after Merger & Acquisitions (M&A's) ( Cardinal Health & Pivotree)

I consider myself as an advocate for simplicity, common sense and agility. My area of expertise or focus is not just leading and managing PMO’s, but my mission and focus is on execution in a structured, standardized and simple fashion.  

My first degree was a Bachelor's in Computer Science followed by an MBA in international Business. I opted for a career in business analysis and project management over programming very early in my career. I opted to use the logical thinking skills that I had learnt to solve macro level business problems instead of writing code because I enjoyed doing it. I have also earned PMP (Project Management Professional), CSM (Certified Scrum Master) and SAFe Agilist (Scaled Agile Framework) certifications. 

I live in Burlington, Ontario with my wife Zainab, son and daughter. I have a passion for music, nature and theatre. Although I like all kinds of music, I am mostly stuck in the 80's. I love hiking and fishing. I grew up in Karachi, a city by the ocean and still never miss an opportunity to go deep sea fishing. I am also a playwright, actor and director and have participated in many theatre festivals in North America and Pakistan before I had children. However, now I am playing and loving the role of a father and spend the majority of my time with my  two little productions; a teenage son and a daughter.
