About Me

Hi, I’m Tony.

Anthony Grozdanovski — but everyone calls me Tony. I’m a servant leader, technical program manager, and problem solver who thrives at the intersection of people, technology, and delivery. I’ve spent my career building things that matter — teams, frameworks, programs, and relationships — across some of the most complex and high-stakes environments in enterprise technology, government innovation, and fintech.

I don’t just manage projects. I lead people, drive outcomes, and leave organizations better than I found them.

What I Do

My expertise spans project management, enterprise PMO leadership, agile transformation, AI and automation, and cross-functional team leadership. I’ve delivered $10M+ government technology programs for the State of Ohio, contributed to $120M+ in growth at Socure, led the two largest deals in Socure’s company history, and been recognized with the Presidents Club Award — Socure’s highest honor for top performers.

I currently serve as Senior Manager, Technical Project Management at Socure, a Forbes Fintech 50 company and leader in digital identity verification, fraud prevention, and risk solutions.

I am a certified Scrum Master (CSM) and certified Project Manager, with deep experience leading teams across both Agile and Waterfall environments — adapting methodology to the needs of the organization, not the other way around.

My Approach

I believe the foundation of every successful project is two things: continuous communication and rigorous testing. Everything else flows from there.

I’m a certified Scrum Master and Project Manager who has led teams across Agile and Waterfall environments. As a CSM I have coached teams through sprint ceremonies, backlog refinement, and the cultural shift from project-thinking to product-thinking — a transformation I drove across multiple organizations throughout my career. I know when to follow a framework and when to adapt it. I know how to bring the right people to the table, ask the right questions, and keep delivery moving even when things get complicated — because they always do.

Persistence is non-negotiable for me. Throughout my tenure at Socure I have maintained 100% responsiveness to every client — tracked and verified through Lumopath, a customer engagement intelligence platform that measures communication cadence and relationship health. Every message gets a response. Every client feels heard.

Leadership

My leadership journey started earlier than most. As the owner of a small landscaping business growing up, I learned what it meant to be accountable before I ever stepped into a corporate environment. That foundation shaped everything.

During my time at Bowling Green State University, an internship at Nationwide Insurance as a Business Analyst opened my eyes to the world of organizational leadership — how teams connect, how structure enables or limits performance, and how the best leaders show up differently at every level. I changed my major to Business Administration and never looked back.

Since then I’ve managed teams, founded mentorship programs, led cross-functional organizations, and served as a strategic advisor to executive leadership. My long-term goal is to work in executive leadership. Until then, I will keep doing what I do best — being the most effective servant leader I can be, helping every person around me become the best version of themselves.

Leaders I follow and admire: Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, Richard Branson, and Tim Cook. Mentors who have shaped my career in ways I can never fully repay: Mike D, Pete D, Neal G, and Kevin A — thank you.

AI & Automation

I’ve leaned hard into AI and automation — not as a trend, but as a competitive advantage. I build and deploy Glean AI agents, Zapier automations, and Claude AI skills used across my team for compliance tracking, PMO oversight, and opportunity management. I believe the leaders who learn to harness these tools today will be the ones defining what’s possible tomorrow.

Full Stack Curiosity & AI Innovation

I’ve always believed that to lead technologists, you have to understand what they do. That belief has driven me to continuously expand my technical toolkit — from AWS training and certifications, Jira administration, and Postman and Atlassian REST API automation, to hands-on development and now AI-powered tooling and agent building.

Today I’m deeply invested in the AI space — not just as a user, but as a builder. I work daily with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, and Glean to design and deploy automations and AI agents that solve real business problems. I’ve built Claude AI skills used across my team for compliance tracking, PMO oversight, and opportunity management. I use Zapier to automate repetitive workflows and eliminate manual overhead. I leverage Glean agents to surface organizational knowledge and accelerate decision-making.

This site itself is a reflection of that curiosity — built from scratch and continuously improved, most recently using Claude as an AI pair programmer to manage updates, build new content, and deploy changes. I believe the leaders who learn to harness these tools today will be the ones defining what’s possible tomorrow. I’m all in on being one of them.

Let’s Connect

If you’re looking for a leader who brings energy, accountability, and a track record of delivering at the highest level — I’d love to connect.
