Senior Project Manager
CurrentManager of PMO – managing most of the PMO operations; including budgets, grants & management presentations. Skills utilized for success include: • Managing Complexity of the multiple systems. Primarily focused on replacing the Financial System with Lawson/Infor, Enterprise Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Tools. In addition to these, I have successfully gone live with Driver Sign-In Terminal and OPS Web. • Collaboration and Leadership exhibited in my ability to bring the PMO into better alignment with Finance through updates and macros built in excel to correlate charges in RAMCO with those in the Project Portfolios. Worked with Finance to ensure the Grants and tracking reports align and can account for all remaining costs in all PMO projects as well as other Departmental managed projects. Due to the fact that I built and maintain most of the project tools, I provide the material for most management updates.• Organization, Fast Acting and Delegation are key characteristics that have allowed me to develop policies and procedures for most PMO tasks. This includes Project Charter, Requirements, RFP, Tracking, and Close-Out. • Personal Tenacity to do whatever is needed to get the job done in a professional manner that is on time, within budget and meeting all of the customer’s needs. E.g. with the Driver SIT, I worked with Trapeze to learn what each configuration change does and personally changed and tested these setting for the ideal effectiveness for production. • Technical Knowledge/Experience in IT operations allows me to be a valuable resource in ensuring success by proposing immediate solutions that quickly solve some of the most complex challenges. Just prior to going live with OPS Web, I realized proposed authentication was not secure enough for the data being presented and immediately figured a way to use the ID proximity readers to “TAP” on for access. This also eliminated the need for passwords and the issues around lock-outs and resets.
