Director Of It
CurrentI have been fortunate to manage an excellent team of programmers, infrastructure support, and DBAs who enabled me to be a high producing working manager. I have directly reported to several very different CEOs who have all supported, mentored and trusted me, influencing me to be the leader I am today. • Created and lead development of the local SPA intranet which became the primary resource for all processes which the company attributes its success and considers their secret weapon. Sample systems: IT ticket management, quote creation and management, buy report replenishment model, internal blog, aggregated product data. • Owner of Sage 500 ERP to train users on systems, track down issues, recode and customized the interfaces and sql procs and saved tens of thousands on support and customizations. • Created the extranet portal where customers could manage their orders, RMAs and data feeds, get customer specific pricing to create quotes and orders, chat with reps. • Implemented SalesForce after gathering requirements from our Sales and Purchasing team members, meeting with and reviewing other alternatives, and ensuring pertinent data be available locally off the cloud. • Created and managed all OLAP cubes, data and usage security as well as having trained users on ProClarity and analysis services; SSRS and web based reporting also usually fell under me. • Managed various audits for banks, security practices, development, Microsoft licensing, etc. • Handled various management duties including: employee reviews, interviewing and hiring decisions, budgeting, inter-personnel conflict management, objective setting, and vendor relationship management.
