As the Director of IT at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I have been providing business technology leadership and solutions that enable and grow our business for over 17 years. I have a strong passion for the practical implementation of technology solutions to optimize business processes and deliver value to our customers. I hold two project management certifications from Villanova University that demonstrate my proficiency in applying solid methodology, extensive technical expertise, and financial responsibility to the business strategy.I work with executive management, business leaders, and IT teams to provide an organized approach to digital transformation, using a 'cloud first' strategy to reduce the footprint in our landscape. I also assist customers in resolving issues across all aspects of their organization, whether it be managing a merger or acquisition or leading a global integration project. I have successfully rationalized technology strategies using a consultative approach, recognizing that everyone within the organization is a customer with the potential for growth. My leadership style is focused on driving a performance-based technology team, emphasizing cross-functional collaboration, speed to market, and the freedom to make mistakes. This mindset fosters a positive outlook, encouraging growth and scalability within today's fast-paced technical ecosystem.
