Fredrick Haren said, “Project Managers are the most creative pros in the world; we have to figure out everything that could go wrong, before it does.” I’d like to add that not only do we have to figure out everything that could go wrong before it does, we must fix what could go wrong before it goes wrong. So, we’re creative but we’re also proactive. I utilize a naturally inquisitive and analytical mindset, guided by design thinking principles, to challenge the status quo which allows for reformation of processes in international and domestic settings. Blindly following instructions doesn’t always get things done in the most efficient manner. Sometimes, ‘out of the box’ thinking must accompany those instructions. While I will always ensure steadfast compliance with policies and procedures, being conventional doesn’t bode well for turning adversity into solutions, which I am prone to as is evidenced by the following highlighted skills and key profile offerings:* Consult cross-functional, peak-performing teams to champion business development initiatives and delegate tasks that control costs and inspire customized solutions to challenges.* Respected as a strong people leader excelling at building, developing, and mentoring teams in providing high-quality, meaningful insight to senior management and other stakeholders for short- and long-term results.* Build and maintain sustained and loyal relationships with vendors, partners, and suppliers to spearhead favorably negotiated terms for hardware (HW) and software (SW) products and licenses with thoughtful consideration to corporate objectives as well as the client's perspective and established Statements of Work (SOWs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).* Obtained “Best of the Best” team award in 2009 for the implementation of application solutions in Mexico.* Technical proficiencies in Microsoft Office, Jira, Confluence, SDLC, , VoIP, SIP, MPLS, VPN, 802.16e, Ethernet.
