I've been on the forefront of building the Westcan Project Management Office by standardizing PMO documentation, building library of information, and written several on -boarding guides and training manuals.I work on complex high profile projects for industries and municipalities. I'm the guy's whose door is ALWAYS OPEN (even when it's physically closed) to lend a helping hand, provide mentoring, educate on processes and/or collaborate on ideas.I've been in the forefront of learning the telecom industry and bringing creative ideas to our professional services team. All of our projects have multi-cross functional teams working simultaneously on a variety of initiatives. Because of this multi-person, multi-format, I've been up on my soap box preaching this motto since joining the PMO: "We work as a team, and if one of us is being successful, we are ALL being successful. and if one of us is failing we're ALL failing." I strive to better my own knowledge in leadership by reading books, attending seminars and online webinars. I'll always strive to understand situations and find the lesson learnt, to share those lessons with teammates and strive to succeed on all levels of management.
