I am an experienced and business-oriented organizational change management leader who is skilled at recognizing areas of opportunity, articulating visions, creating stakeholder consensus, and implementing positive outcomes. I was at the Gannett Company for over 20 years in a variety of technology leadership roles. Over the last two decades, in an era of significant downturn in the local media industry, Gannett transformed itself from a newspaper holding company to a single media and marketing solutions company. Throughout that time, I was a leader at Gannett who helped guide the company’s technology transformation from one of multiple individual newspaper computing solutions and organizations to a single technology organization that provided consolidated and standardized solutions across the entire enterprise. People-leading and influencing has always been integral to my success. While I have successfully developed and led teams of both direct and indirect reports for almost my entire career, even more important has been my leadership and influencing capabilities outside of my formal organization. My ability to positively influence change and gain consensus across multiple technology and business teams and leaders at all levels, has been key to ensuring exceptional outcomes. In addition, I have over ten years of experience leading geographically diverse teams and remotely working team members. I have significant experience in leading improvement and standardization initiatives in the following areas:• Collaboration, Business, and Production Applications• IT Service Management• Project and User Communication• End-User Computing, Asset Management, Licensing, and Procurement• IT Services Automation • Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (both IT and Finance)• IT Culture and Organization• Mergers and Acquisitions• Technology Outsourcing, Co-Sourcing, and Re-Insourcing• Technology Knowledge ManagementOne of my passion areas is the identification, surfacing, and mitigation of business and technology risks at all phases of a project or initiative. Critical to this is ensuring that the “big picture” of each project or initiative is kept at the forefront so that individual detailed efforts are successful. I hold a Master of Business Administration, with a concentration in quality and organizational improvement, from the Rochester Institute of Technology.My unique set of skills and capabilities makes me a compelling value-add to any project or initiative requiring significant and detailed change management.
