Welcome! Introduce yourself to PMI’s Online Community

Hi everyone!
My name is Kunal Chitnis, and I currently work as a Project Manager with a small-to-medium enterprise.

Growing up, I always wanted to do something in the Armed Forces — I was drawn to the discipline, leadership, and sense of purpose that came with it. While life took me in a different direction, those values still influence how I approach my work today.

I’m relatively new to the formal project management domain, so honestly, I’m excited to learn everything. I’ve been exposed to tools like Monday, MS Project through my work, and I’m keen to deepen my understanding of core PM tools, frameworks, and technologies to become a well-rounded practitioner.

My journey into project management started in the retail and CPG industry, where I worked on projects such as new product development, product launches, and consumer research initiatives. In my current role, I had the opportunity to lead an SAP S/4HANA implementation, which was a big learning curve but also a very rewarding experience. That project made me realize how much I enjoyed leading structured, cross-functional work — which ultimately pushed me to formalize my experience by earning my PMP certification. I’m hoping this PMI community will help me learn from experienced professionals and explore new opportunities.

One of my proudest professional accomplishments was successfully defending multiple product deletions at a major retailer, which could have resulted in the loss of nearly 45% of annual category sales. I worked closely with Sales and Marketing to reposition the brand, refine pricing strategies, and connect commercial performance with consumer insights — and we were able to turn the situation around.

Looking forward to connecting and learning from all of you..

Hola,
Mi nombre es Jorge Luis Tanqueño Moreta, soy Ingeniero de Mantenimiento Industrial de Ecuador, con experiencia en el sector oil & gas, donde actualmente desempeño el cargo de Superintendente de Proyectos de Construcción.
Desde temprana edad tuve un fuerte interés por el desarrollo técnico, lo que ha guiado mi crecimiento profesional hacia la gestión y ejecución de proyectos industriales complejos.
Mi permanencia en el área de gestión de proyectos se debe a los constantes retos que cada proyecto representa y a la oportunidad de liderar equipos multidisciplinarios, optimizando recursos, tiempos y resultados.
Uno de los logros que mayor satisfacción me ha generado es haber alcanzado el cargo de Superintendente de Proyectos, reflejo del compromiso, la responsabilidad y la mejora continua en mi carrera profesional.

Hi Laura! Nice to meet you. This is my answers:

My name is Gabriel Silva, I'm from Mexico and I currently serve as a Technology Leader for a company in the Real Estate sector. I am passionate about continuous improvement and staying ahead of the curve with emerging technologies like AI, Cloud Computing, and Blockchain to drive innovation.

Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a Physicist to study the Universe. However, I found that my true strength wasn't in abstract formulas, but in logic. This naturally led me to computer programming. Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by puzzles and mazes, and software engineering allows me to apply that same passion for problem-solving in a professional way.

While I have used many tools, my favorite methodology is Kanban. I find it to be a powerful visual tool that provides transparency and helps the team focus on flow and efficiency. I also value platforms that support this, like Jira or Trello, to keep stakeholders aligned.

About 8 years ago, I participated in a government project as a Technical Lead. At the time, I didn't have Project Management knowledge, and the project failed to meet its objectives due to scope issues. That experience pushed me to learn about PM. I found the PMI and the PMBOK Guide, and I loved it. Today, I am passionate about these standard for delivering successful projects.

My proudest accomplishment is my volunteer work with the PMI. Recently, I served as the Leader for the 'Latin American Study Network.' I coordinated a team of over 40 volunteers across 29 chapters, helping members prepare for PMP, CAPM, and ACP certifications. Additionally, In addition, the team and I have promoted a continuous learning initiative focusing on disruptive trends in Project Management, specifically how to leverage Artificial Intelligence in our field.

I regularly work with tools such as Jira, Confluence, MS Project, and Excel for planning, tracking, and reporting. I also collaborate using the following tools: Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. I was drawn to project management because it allows me to interact with technology, people, and business to ensure alignment with the organization's goals.
