Trinidad And Tobago, W.I.

I worked for the government of Trinidad and Tobago, W.I. Managing telecommunication projects for TSTT (Telecommunication Services of Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.) The work revolved around the Summit of the Americas and was critical to the overall summit. When I was brought in to manage the projects, most of them were behind schedule, had little if any project management conducted on them, and they need to be completed in 5 months of my arrival. I needed to have all of the systems up and running for the upcoming Summits of the America’s in April of 2009. All of the 18 projects under my management meet the intended timeframe and performed as designed for the summit.
