I am an Agile leader and Scrum Master who has consistently been successful as a leader of technical, cross-functional projects. I provide centralizing leadership through building enduring relationships across nationally and globally diverse teams, from individual contributors through the C-suite. In each of my operations positions, I have served as a technical and strategic authority, facilitating change, elevating collaboration, and assuring program success, often through implementation of the Agile way of working. My colleagues report that my contributions result in better financial and resource modeling, more strategic goal attainment, and better alignment to organizational goals.My teams and colleagues believe I am a strategic leader partly due to my commitment to Fidelity as a company over two decades but also because I frequently volunteer to mentor new associates and to lead teams. In other words, I am a willing partner and collaborator both within the Scrum Master community and across functional lines, because my colleagues know that I see them as more than their job--I truly care about them individually and holistically. This consistent approach to relationship building has enabled me to create mutual trust and given me the social capital to invite their input and their assistance when cooperating will clearly create better outcomes.As much as my professional career has centered on my contributions and commitment to Fidelity, I also have started a book club (decade-plus strong), coached kids’ soccer, and made the contestant pool for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” In other words, in all aspects of my life, I do not stagnate and I am always excited for the next challenge. Putting that passion to work for a company equally committed to performance, excellence, diversity, and pushing the edges of “what could be” will be the next step in what has been so far a very successful and exciting journey.
