Datapipe acquired Dualspark in Sept 2015. As leader for service delivery in Southern California, I collaborate at both tactical/technical and business/strategic level to ensure successful client engagements. I analyze information rapidly and make informed, risk-based decisions for company and client success. I balance the needs of multiple stakeholders with aplomb.Understanding enterprise data center-to-cloud pain points, I address each in turn. I establish a rapport with clients, helping them address immediate technical needs while also encouraging them to take a more strategic view of overall cloud adoption. I do this by addressing the objections and fears of cloud using the repeatable and sound best practices for architecture, application development, integration, security and compliance, as well as AWS account management. The more clients gets familiar with technology, and see what controls are used to actually make public cloud more secure than their data center, the faster their businesses see the intended results. On a daily basis, I drive and train project management fidelity across the company. I streamline requirements gathering, establish project cadence (budget and schedule), and provide clients with consistent, formatted updates of work progress. I evaluate and make recommendations on project tools, process, and other efforts to smooth delivery. I oversee resource scheduling, and liaise with clients for AR/AP execution, troubleshooting and corrections. I build proposals, SOWs, marketing material for conferences, and participate in company marketing and sales to promote company brand and increase awareness. I work closely with senior leadership, providing C-levels feedback on any operations that impact financial outcomes.
