Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlvin Z is a seasoned IT leader and president of AHZ Consulting with over two decades of experience designing PMO frameworks, driving enterprise transformation, and negotiating multi-million dollar contracts across healthcare, finance, and public sectors. A former senior project manager and technologist, he blends hands-on software engineering roots with certifications in PMP, ITIL, Prosci, and Azure Fundamentals to lead cloud migrations, IT service design, and change programs. He has established governance and service-level frameworks at institutions like UBC and WorkSafeBC and led large Azure and AI implementations for international clients. Now semi-retired in Canada, Alvin focuses on mentoring emerging PMs and advising organizations on project delivery maturity, stakeholder engagement, and vendor strategy.
