I thrive on tackling the big, complex technology-related programs that other leaders run away from. Extensive consulting experience with Fortune 100 companies has taught me to quickly analyze and define the problem, develop and sell solutions that work, and then deliver results. When I recently asked my supervisors, clients, peers, and teams what I’m best known for, they all said, “Getting stuff done, and getting it done right and on time.” In addition to deep IT infrastructure and systems development experience in Waterfall and Agile environments, I have also helped several teams make the transition between the two. I excel at managing the space between the business and the technologists. My first step: listening to stakeholders to understand all perspectives. This is absolutely key to gaining the trust of all parties and particularly critical in delivering complex software, hardware, and infrastructure programs in rapidly changing environments. To consistently exceed business objectives, leaders need to win the hearts and minds of their teams and stakeholders. I feel proud of my track record and reputation for developing creative solutions that people can get behind, while building a collaborative, team-focused approach that respects the contribution of all. My recent work has involved program managing: - Technology infrastructure - Data center migrations - Data center build and closures - Technology portfolio management - Agile and waterfall project delivery - Cloud migration strategy
