The true test of success comes when you run up against challenges. I see times of testing as opportunities. I am reminded of the words of the great Booker T. Washington: “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which they have overcome.”As a relentless pursuer of growth, my passion for evaluating & managing risk of projects and programs and implementing mitigation plans while driving organizational efficiency and maximizing productivity stems from my bigger purpose to change things for the better. For me, problems are opportunities - I step toward them. Like most professional, I thrive under intense pressure and challenge, Technical Program Management is in my DNA. In my efforts to constantly push boundaries, innovate, and step towards problems combined with 6+ years’ experience with a background in project engineering, program management, construction management, & client support, a Technical Program Manager was born.Some highlights from my background include:• Trusted leader known and respected for leading successful change in project engineering and program management while building credibility with teams and staff• Strong background in collaborating effectively with other disciplines and cross-functional teams to accelerate organizational growth and realize significant business gains • Dedicated to leading projects through the project life cycle process, driving scope, schedule, cost, and resource management using existing processes• Basic understanding of design specifications of Data Center facility and product designs, and electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineering• Ability to gather and transform project requirements into an actionable product roadmapMy Key Skills Include: Technical Program and Project Management, Team Building & Leadership, Product Management Knowledge, Change Management, Organizational Skills, Project Budgeting, Resource Management, & Problem-Solving.What drives me is my profound desire for a positive impact on those I lead and the world around me.
