Exiting to industry for a program management role. I’m curious on peoples thoughts surrounding career progression from program management. I don’t want to be a career program manager, but the programs I’m running will be specific to a function of the company. Have folks seen many people jump from program management to function specific director roles or similar?

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
