As a forward-thinking IT Management Operations professional, I am passionate about providing vision and solid decision-based leadership to the organizations I serve. I am equally passionate about maintaining an unwavering focus on doing the next right thing. IT security and operations are constantly evolving, so it is crucial that organizations engage forward-thinking technologists to stay ahead of the curve. Maximizing value realized from IT investment, strategic initiatives, and providing layered security aligned with effective operational capabilities are critical to a strong operational/security posture.I ensure solid policy/procedure documentation, build relationships, nurture organizational transparency, and create synergies through technology. I value the art of listening, mentorship, team building and continuous improvement. Delivering value, evaluating risk, defining and understanding goals, measuring success, and ensuring the team has the capabilities required to complete their mission are paramount. I lead by successfully eliminating constraints, promoting inter/intra team consensus, simplifying processes, and managing resources effectively to allow delivery of solid results. I believe everyone has something valuable to contribute. Values I promote: Solution focus, integrity, dedication, accountability, passion, and value delivery. Positivity, transparency, a calming temperament, and a sense of humor are part of my personal philosophy. Organizational culture is very important to me. I thrive in positive environments where the focus is “what CAN we do” as opposed to “CAN’T”, and I encourage this throughout my team/organization. I work to encourage positive values and discourage negative ones. I take great pride in contributing to organizational success through IT value delivered.Specialties: Leadership, Consulting, Cybersecurity, IT Operations, Service Desk Operations, Talent Management, Talent Development, Corporate Culture, Contract Negotiation, Vendor Management, Value Creation, Corporate Acquisition/Disposition, Office / Data Center Relocation, Cisco/Meraki/Sophos networks, Teams/Cisco/Skype VoIP, Remote terminal solutions, HP servers, Systems Engineering, Active Directory Identity Management, MDM, MFA, Networking, WiFi, Data Center, Virtualization, Cloud, Azure, Office365, Corporate BCP, DR planning and exercises.Passions: Eagle Scout.
