I was originally recruited as a subject matter expert for the founders of the company to develop and execute a new solution that transforms leadership development. I took over managing partner position when the co-founder, Tom Sather died unexpectedly. Initial responsibilities included Business Development and I worked to close a strategic large government account to fund the company startup and initiate operations. I also developed an opportunity pipeline via an exclusive affiliate network to help Leadership Ecademy achieve critical mass. I worked to recruit and hire Instructional Design and Content Delivery team members who were responsible for developing content, branding, intellectual property and delivery of leadership development services. I worked to brand our service as the contemporary, flexible, life-long-learning approach to effective leadership development. As our slogan states, 'Leadership Ecademy develops tomorrows leaders today.'

I joined an entrepreneurial small business startup that became a multiple site computer training business. Initially, I installed recommended franchise operations best practices and implemented a sales model that dominated competition in its markets. My customer satisfaction focus helped grow the company to become the largest IT training organization and Microsoft Gold Partner for Learning Solutions in Wisconsin. I shared improved franchise business processes with New Horizons CLC allowing them to franchise into smaller markets. Developed the best sales and delivery team in the industry, motivated them and recognized them for their peak professional and personal accomplishment. Established the strategy to evolve employee development from traditional instructor led training to blended learning, using WBT in conjunction with traditional and virtual classroom learning in a franchise environment. I served as Project Manager for implementing Microsoft Dynamics CRM (converting from Sales Logix) and multiple Learning Management (LMS) Systems as well as outside contract Project Management assignments. Chaired and conducted annual strategic planning for technology and business operations. Held job roles as Operations, Financial and Compliance Manager, Director of Project Management and Consulting.

I joined this boutique management consulting firm as a Transition and Change Management Project Manager and Consultant. In this role, I managed ERP projects for repetitive, process, project based and discrete manufacturing firms and successfully helped them change technology, processes and people using recognized change methodologies. Several times, I was called to salvage stalled ERP implementations. By using sound business analysis skills that highlighted differences between current state and future state business processes and highlighting the changes for stakeholders and project team members, we quickly regained project momentum. The combination of sound project management methodology as well as performing the required business analysis, led to the successful implementation (>90% within schedule parameters, >95% within budget criteria, >95% quality criteria) of ERP systems at over seventy locations.
