I am a team-oriented, objective-focused, technical program delivery leader with over 25 years of experience harnessing IT and engineering capabilities to deliver business value – primarily in the telecommunications and utilities sectors. I have built my career upon a 5-year foundation as a naval officer, where I learned that even the most complex problems and technical environments require engaged, committed leadership and empowered teams to execute at their highest potential.Strong management consulting experience shaped my transition to the business world – analyzing the intersection of people, technologies and processes; I also developed core technical skills and a commitment to continuous development. I was recognized early for strong project leadership, and have expanded on those abilities across complex technologies, organizations and roles.With over seven years of Director / Sr. Director level accountability, I am passionate about establishing and leading high-performing delivery organizations that eliminate structural barriers and define success from their customers' point-of-view. I was energized by the opportunity to integrate Product Development, IT and Engineering partners to form and work with results-oriented teams, delivering sophisticated new products and services to market faster.With experience, I have developed the following key differentiators:- Experience with broad range of technologies – I believe strongly that to be an effective program leader I must have a level of competence with the technologies underpinning my programs- Confident executive presence developed over years of successful program delivery - Proficiency beyond core program and project delivery – Sr. Director-level experience to develop long-range plans and associated strategic partnerships. Success in managing multi-million dollar initiatives. - Innovative and self-directing – developed an intuitive sense for opportunities to streamline and accelerate value delivery- Immense personal satisfaction from successfully delivering on a program's objectives
