I've been recognized as an innovative leader with a track record of 33 years of progressive responsibility in the Information Technology field servicing multiple industries and global clients. My broad-based experience ranges from projects and programs, to organizational leadership, strategic plan development, and development of three (3) corporate service offerings to clients.While the above is important, I am much more than my business and IT background. Through training and experience I've developed the ability to look beyond the immediate task at hand to analyze the downstream implications or ripple effect of a decision, implementation or marketing plan. It's important to identify risks and unplanned downstream effects of decisions as these can be as costly to a project or reputation of a company or organization.I've run a partnership between EDS/HP/HPE and the University of Buffalo's School of Business where we sponsored MGS 659 E-Commerce MBA class, where I lectured and ran a mentoring program for cohorts of students and companies with real business problems. This program ran for over 12 years ending in 2015.I've been recognized for bringing positive energy to the team, empowering teams to achieve defined goals, providing thought leadership, while delivering to commitments.Interests:Fostering Economic Development in one of Buffalo's poorest community via Fillmore Forward and Central Terminal Restoration Corporation as a Board Director.As a local historian I focus my research on the colonial and Native American history in Western NY, the Niagara Portage and Upper Landing. This under-told history of the Niagara strait was critical to the exploration of the continent, it led to a clash of titans (French and British military), and was the precursor of Britain's need to raise funds in the colonies and we know what happened after that.
