Church Community Builder is a software development firm that offers web-based management solutions to facilitate smoother operations while engaging and connecting church members.I was originally brought on to the team to lead development of an enhanced client support tool – Implementation Coaching – with a focus on software utilization, project planning, process design, leadership coaching, and change management. With this product I built a methodology that has allowed expansion to 1,000 clients. Coached organizations have reported higher utilization and satisfaction rates and have renewed at 7.5% higher than non-coached clients.As the Director of Software Engineering, I led a 30-member team of designers, developers, testers, and Scrum masters building and delivering software features. Because I believe in actively nurturing talent, I coached my staff to earn promotions, lateral transfers, and career-enhancing opportunities.Some of my projects included:SCALED AGILE FRAMEWORK I implemented the department’s SAFe methodology during a 9-month project. By linking the new methodology to improved work flow and productivity – and providing consistent leadership to overcome the inevitable fatigue association – we reduced maintenance cases by 90%.SOFTWARE RELEASE DEPLOYMENTI transitioned the department to a weekly deployment schedule to better align software releases with the needs of our clients as well as product management and marketing objectives.INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMIn this year-long initiative, I led my department to refine role descriptions, define metrics, implement regular performance counseling, and establish development plans. This new program enabled one of our developers to explore machine learning and provided a means to coach a weak performer to improve exponentially.

At Reliability Management Group, a consulting and training services firm, I directed multiple on-site teams guiding clients in North America and Europe to lower costs, increase revenue, and improve reliability. I had the opportunity to work with RMG at two points during my career.From 1997 to 2007, I served as a Consultant and Project Manager. During 5 of those years, I relocated to Ireland to work with a Dublin-based client to implement maintenance, operations, and systems improvements to support the overall growth of the company. Based on the initial success of these projects, the client extended the original 12-month engagement to 5 years. This $7 million project generated a $10 million return on investment for the client.With this experience, I helped RMG define a strategy and produce a business plan to successfully compete in the European market. When I returned in 2008 as the Vice President of Operations, I continued to guide my teams through a diverse array of client engagements.For example, we led senior managers of an industrial facility through process improvement and coaching to overcome labor-management negotiating styles that negatively impacted productivity and costs.We also helped a batch chemical facility to implement improvements in productivity, asset management, diversity issues, and union relationship management, which resulted in annual cost savings of $1.2 million and a 20% increase in reliability.In another project, I coached a client’s staff through improvement initiatives utilizing Collaborative Design tools to prepare them to lead large change projects, including an engagement comprised of 14 programs across 23 client sites.I also led an internal leader development training to enhance individual and team skills in communication, project planning and scheduling, client relationship management, and financial forecasting. This enabled me to focus more on business development to generate an additional $1 million+ in billable fees.
