★ IT | Data & Analytics | Big Data, BI & DWH | Cloud Computing | Innovation Labs | Digital X | CIO Advisory & Management Consulting ★Technology is an expression of the talents of those who create it. At Hertz, I balance deep technical insight with inspirational leadership to harness emerging technologies in the Data & Analytics space and apply my strong background leading on- and off-shore technical teams. I've developed a reputation as the go-to resource when a problem in business intelligence, data engineering, or IT strategy demands creative solutions and calculated risk-taking. I combine a "never say die" attitude with diverse industry experience to drive revenue growth, business development, and superior customer service. Whether I'm rolling out improved reporting and analytics systems or delivering streamlined customer experiences, I constantly test new tactics, not only in business intelligence and analytics, but also in cloud technology, data centers, and infrastructures. My key strengths include: ► Holistic IT Strategy: For 20 years, I've proven my ability to integrate and align technology and business strategy, executing ground-breaking projects to exploit every possible avenue of competitive advantage and technological agility. ► Persuasive Communication: Even the most promising digital transformations fail if leadership doesn't support them. My ability to deliver actionable insights and polished presentations wins the enthusiastic support of C-suite executives, and I bring a wealth of experience leading large contract negotiations and managing vendors. ► Visionary Global Leadership: Unifying teams requires a balance of compassion and exacting expectations. I inspire exceptional performance because my teams know that I hold myself to the same standards, and I am dedicated to empowering them. As John C. Maxwell said, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." I pride myself on following this vision of leadership, no matter the challenge.
