As an accomplished and polished executive, I bring an extraordinary record of achievement in planning and leading strategic initiatives across large, complex organizations. I lead from behind the scenes, guiding and enabling C-level executives to focus on critical issues. I am known for my ability to connect theory with reality and put ideas into practice. My performance reveals my ability to build teams and foster environments focused on collaboration, performance, engagement, and success. As COO of SoloSegment, I led all operations, finance, and strategic aspects of this disruptive software company that leveraged AI and behavior-based cognitive search to align visitors with content. I transformed the company from an LLC into a C Corp and implemented management and corporate governance controls. Previously, I held various positions with IBM, where I ultimately served as business and financial operations manager, led a team of 20, and maintained accountability for a $200M budget. Some of the key highlights of my career include the following achievements:• Championing agile process implementation, including leading education and training to achieve adoption and fuel employee engagement. • Overseeing the functional management of 3 internationally based teams and providing training and level 2 support for a CRM system with 40,000+ users.• Modeling the restructuring of a worldwide organization, including analyzing and planning for co-located squads to support agile methodologies.
