My diverse background in communications, design, programming and project management provides a unique foundation for my successes as a digital strategist, technical leader and intuitive problem solver. Making key technical and strategic decisions that drive the success of MasterCard’s most important digital programs is the cornerstone of my current role.As both a former programmer and journalist, I bring a unique combination of technical and communication skills to leadership roles across a variety of IT and communications settings. My end-to-end understanding of complex IT projects generates an atmosphere of mutual respect and collegiality among technical architects and non-technical business owners, which leads to well-defined and efficiently executed projects that add real business value. I also believe my more intangible abilities – providing creative solutions, quickly solving problems, managing challenging clients and colleagues, and building professional relationships – add great value across any project.I have provided strategic counsel and leadership across a variety of technical platforms.
