Delivering value through a servant leadership style in a diverse environment inspires me to facilitate stakeholders and teams in gaining strategic and tactical results through project management and change management.My most recent achievements include:- Program Manager for expanding PCI Compliance program to meet PCI DSS v4.0 Level 1 requirements. Validated by Independent QSA Auditor almost one year early and without adding staff for a $25 Billion dollar company. This was a remote job.- Senior Project Manager on 5+ concurrent projects in any given month, especially focused on Finance & Accounting, Enterprise Resource Management, Business Process Improvements across IT and businesses, and Improving Portfolio and Project Management across a Fortune 100 world-wide organization. This was a remote job.- Standardized, built, and implemented a project plan template for distribution center (DC) automation installations, each involving over $50 million/site using a waterfall construction approach and agile engineer approach.- Designed, built, and implemented $100 million/year outsourcing program for Supply Chain & Manufacturing.- Using an Agile approach with executives steering committee, providing program management for the development and operations of the new R&D site that involved over $2 million in new equipment and an equal amount from materials salvaged in the demolition of the old R&D site.-Corporate lead for project & resource management and physically moving the corporate warehouse while it continued to support business. - Worked throughout the Information Technology (IT) departments including application development, network management, database management, quality assurance and vendor management. The skills required for these jobs continue to benefit the teams involved in the programs and projects I lead and manage.My passion for management stems from enjoying getting things done - listening to learn - problem solving- and enabling teams to do more, more easily. Trust, integrity, great communications, and a touch of fun are critical values in my servant leadership approach to facilitate organizations and teams through the necessary tasks underlying their goals and strategies. I enjoy volunteering, especially in mentoring younger generations with their business acumen, leadership, management, and teamwork.
