Seeing the forest through the trees…Being able to see the forest through the trees implies understanding the details to be able to navigate the forest, contrary to the common use of the traditional idiom referencing when a person or organization cannot see the big picture because the focus is too much on the details. In technology, details matter - extrapolating those details as a function of scale, performance, integration, security, and other qualities is crucial in delivering sound digital strategies and organizational transformation. I bring a unique set of skills and a long track record of innovation and solutioning which enable my claim to be able to “see the forest through the trees”. I understand the balance of the execution of sound processes in large information technology application & system lifecycles and how to integrate innovation and agility when approaching complex efforts. My experience reflects a successful track record of innovation and results-driven technology design, development & deployment leadership. I am well-versed in leading global IT projects small or large (with budgets up to $50+ million) encompassing the full lifecycle of enterprise-class applications and infrastructure leading teams through agile process implementation.
