I am a self-motivated, results-oriented business leader, who is focused on bringing out the best in people.I have 27 years in IT and experience in areas that include management, sales, marketing, communication, education & training, & HR. Each position created the opportunity to build upon my knowledge base, grow new skills & to create a perpetual learning environment. My responsibilities have included both domestic and foreign operations & my broad international experience has given me a clear understanding of country cultures and their importance in business and relationships.My key strength is in building high performance teams. I do this by investing time in getting to know, understand, and appreciate each individual’s key strengths and talents. I identify opportunities to utilize them so everyone reaps the benefits; the individual and the company. This approach always results in creating a highly energized and productive team and results in employees who feel appreciated, valued and engaged. My success as a manager/leader in building high performance teams is based on having strong business acumen along with a creative ability to generate innovative ideas that streamline and improve current processes. By recognizing obstacles or barriers that need to be removed, and engaging the individuals with the right skills, solutions are able to be implemented. A large part of my success lies in listening to people, inspiring them to apply their knowledge and skills to be part of the solution, and in illuminating how success and recognition will become apparent when those talents and energies are fully engaged. By getting everyone’s complete input and buy-in, it effectively gets everyone working toward a common goal. When results are achieved and successes accomplished, it serves to reinforce those collaborative behaviors and demonstrates the value they each provide as team members and as employees. It then motivates them to continue to do more of the same.Specialties: International IT strategy & operationsChange management, Organizational & Leadership Development, IT, Services, cross-functional collaboration, in-depth experience with outsourcing, Experienced Facilitator
