I love science and technology, the art of software development - and helping complex businesses iteratively define and execute their strategy. I excel in management roles that allow me to build high performance teams, especially when we use technology and innovation (along with data!) as the catalyst for execution.I have an unwavering focus on the client – every task, every project, every desired result – starts with the client’s perspective and their unfiltered expectations. It’s important to iterate quickly, fail quickly, and constantly keep the client’s experience at the forefront of what we do.I am:- Data driven; decisions are always rooted in data and collaboration with SMEs - with a dose of intuition.- A design geek; from vintage Stickley furniture to software, to vehicles and aircraft - I love studying design.- A coach and mentor; when I can help others succeed I know I've made a difference that matters.- Introspective; I strive to learn from every failure, every success and every interaction.- Competitive; I want my team to win. I love the journey and the relationships we build along the way.- Ethical; The truth always wins, and winning truthfully and with integrity is the only way I operate.- A life-long learner; Cloud DevOps, Quantum, AI - or, woodworking, musical instruments, cars - I love learning new skills.A few notable accomplishments:- Delivering transformative business processes: Sales Education Delivery, Sales Incentive Programs, Employee recognition programs, Hyper-efficient deal progression processes.- Leading a development team as the overall architect and a developer, to deliver a “born on the cloud” IP deal management application built as a set of microservices around RESTful API endpoints. - Integrating the IBM Intellectual Property organization with IBM's implementation of Salesforce as a premier CRM system.- Building IBM’s Lab Services team from a 500 person team to 1,500 worldwide employees.
