Hello everyone, I’m Joe, an architect with 15 years experience of turning ideas into sketches, sketches into detailed drawings, and the drawings into buildings and spaces that can be felt and experienced by users. I am a Kenya, born and educated, but spent most of my professional life in Rwanda, driving projects from design to construction.
As a kid, I was more drawn to the performing arts, i.e. music and theatre, but that was not considered a viable career choice where I am from. I first encountered technical drawing and design in high school, and that is where I immediately decided that architecture was going to be my life.
As an architect, you often find yourself being a project manager by default, since you are leading project from the design stage, all the way to construction supervision. That is a position I excelled and thrived in for so many years, managing very successful projects in Rwanda, Uganda, D.R. Congo and Kenya. What I lacked was a standardised way of managing projects, and that is where I turned to PMI. PMP has given me the structure and tools to execute and manage projects more efficiently, and I cant wait to reap the benefits.
My proudest accomplishment is my contribution to the Kigali skyline, and the continuous rapid development of infrastructure in Rwanda.

Hi everyone! I’m Macel Gallenero, I am a Licensed Electronics Engineer in the Philippines and currently serving as a Technical Project Manager for Special Projects in Internet Service Provider/TechCo.
Growing up, my heart was set on traveling and immersing myself in beautiful sceneries around the world. Hoping to fulfill this dream soon.
Project Management was my very first career path. What drew me in—and what keeps me here—is a genuine passion in serving others, being part of the solution by solving complex conflicts, critical thinking/deep analysis/brainstorming/
I don't stick to just one approach, I believe in a tailored-fit approach. I choose the specific tools and technologies that best serve the unique requirements of the project at hand.
I find the most fulfillment in being a catalyst for change and helping others turn their dreams into reality.
I’m looking forward to connecting with you all and hearing your stories!

Hello, PMI Community!
My name is Albert, and I am the Programme and Grants Coordinator at Women for Women Rwanda. I have over 15 years of experience in program management and capacity building, primarily in education, health, and community livelihoods. I hold a master’s degree in Development Studies, am PMP certified, and have worked with public institutions, civil society organizations, and NGOs across East and West Africa, including my home country, Rwanda.
Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a Catholic Church priest but later discovered my passion for family life and making a tangible impact in development work. I was drawn to project management for its ability to transform ideas into meaningful change, and I remain inspired by the profound impact it has on underserved communities.
I am keen to explore AI-driven project management tools, as I believe they will play an essential role in the future of our profession. My proudest achievements include initiatives that strengthen community resilience, and in my free time, I enjoy working out, reading, and playing the piano.
Looking forward to engaging with this incredible community!

Hello everyone! 👋
I'm Saira Sohail a Project Manager, leading initiatives that require strong coordination, stakeholder alignment, and a clear focus on delivering measurable value.
I’ve always been drawn to structured problem-solving, organizing complex activities, and enabling teams to work toward shared objectives—interests that naturally led me into project management.
In my day-to-day work, I use MS Project, Power BI, Jira, Trello, and advanced Excel to plan, track performance, and support data-informed decision-making. I also have hands-on exposure to n8n automation, where I’ve worked on streamlining workflows, integrating systems, and reducing manual effort across project processes. I’m keen to further explore AI-supported reporting and intelligent automation as these capabilities continue to shape the future of the profession.
What attracted me to project management was its ability to bridge strategy and execution. What has kept me in the field is the continuous learning, adaptability, and the opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes in dynamic environments.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been successfully managing and coordinating multi-disciplinary projects, ensuring transparency, proactive risk management, and consistent alignment among stakeholders.
I’m excited to connect with fellow professionals here, exchange insights, and continue growing within this community. Looking forward to learning from you all!

Hello everyone,
My name is Juan Carlos González, MD, and I currently serve as Deputy Medical Director at the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS), where I lead hospital-level clinical and administrative operations, institutional process improvement, interdepartmental governance, and healthcare risk management.
When I was growing up, I wanted to be a physician, and I followed that calling by specializing in pediatrics. However, as my career progressed, I became increasingly aware that many of the most serious problems affecting patient care were not strictly clinical. They were organizational, structural, and systemic.
That realization marked a turning point. I deliberately began to build new competencies beyond medicine—first in Public Health and Public Administration in Health, later completing a Doctorate in Public Health, then expanding into Human Resources Management and organizational leadership, and I am currently completing formal training in Project Management. Each step was a conscious decision to better understand how institutions work, how people are led, and how complex initiatives can be designed, executed, and sustained.
The project management tools and approaches I work with most include PMBOK-based standards, stakeholder governance, institutional risk management, KPI-driven management, Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC), and data tools such as Excel and Power BI. My primary interest lies in applying structured project management to complex healthcare systems, where multiple stakeholders, limited resources, regulatory constraints, and human factors converge.
What drew me to project management was recognizing that many healthcare failures are, at their core, project failures: weak planning, fragmented leadership, unmanaged risks, and lack of execution discipline. What has kept me in this field is seeing how solid project frameworks can protect teams, bring coherence to institutions, and translate strategy into measurable outcomes for patients and health systems.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been leading institutional transformation initiatives—including modernization of pediatric services, development of evidence-based clinical guidelines, national research projects informing public policy, and hospital programs focused on workforce dignity, quality systems, and operational redesign. These experiences confirmed that sustainable transformation only occurs when technical rigor is combined with ethical leadership and human-centered execution.
Alongside my executive role, I also serve as a graduate-level professor in Health Services Evaluation, working in the formation of healthcare leaders capable of linking evidence, management, and public responsibility.
I look forward to learning from this community, exchanging experiences, and contributing—especially from the perspective of large-scale healthcare projects and public-sector environments in Latin America.
Best regards,
Juan Carlos González, MD
