I'm a technology executive — but I've done a lot of other things as well. This has given me the opportunity to develop a solid track record in diverse and challenging organizational environments. My experience in project and program management provides structure for evaluation, direction, and strategic planning. My experience in manufacturing, the health sector, high-tech industries, and non-profit, non-governmental organizations provide a broad background for synthesis and analysis of data. These experiences, when combined with a background in facilitation and leadership development, allows me to support the people who do the real work of delivering cutting edge technology.
