Laurel Barton Email & Phone Number

Now retired, I spend my time traveling, writing, and hiking.Preceding my career with the Federal Government, I worked in leadership positions in the telecommunications and information technology industries. During a 16 year tenure with the Bell System and associated companies, I rose from customer service in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Vice President of the Government & Educational Services Division of US West, headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Following an early retirement from US West Communications, I served in executive capacities with two international information technology firms, Computer Task Group (CTG) and Ajilon. As Managing Director for CTG's Western Division, I oversaw more than 2500 people across the western 2/3 of the U.S. Immediately prior to joining the government, I was an independent business consultant specializing in process improvement and recruiting. My clients included a large business association and a medical device manufacturer. I entered government service in September 2005, where I served as Manager of the Foreign Language Program in Portland, and as Administrative Officer prior to transfer to Rome. As Administrative Officer I was responsible for such diverse programs as human resources, facilities management, procurement, communications, evidence, investigative support, and records management.

Listed skills include Strategic Planning, Team Building, Customer Service, Change Management, and 28 others.
