Good project managers deliver on time, on budget, and on spec. Great project managers deliver these, plus innovation, strong customer relationships, additional profit, and repeat work.I have 20 years of project management experience in a wide variety of industries - oil & gas, chemical, power, glass, and food. I have a successful track record in projects ranging from $5000 to $750,000,000. While I have succeeded in many technical challenges, I am most proud of my ability to increase profits, often exceeding sales/gross margin goals. For example, over a recent four-year period, I achieved a 29% increase in gross margin on six lump sum projects.Experience, business acumen, and skills in collaboration help me to achieve the following:* Create proposals that win jobs and new clients* Solve problems by conceptualizing and integrating disparate pieces of information* Often exceeded financial performance goals* Innovate on jobs that come with tough constraints and aggressive schedules* Strategize with management for the best business resultsHaving grown up with a father who owned a bakery, I spent many hours working under his leadership. My father was on a constant quest to “do it better.” This has become a mantra to me on internal projects as well as client projects.For example, I took it upon myself to create a graphical report to monitor Work Performance Data for Cost Performance Index, Budget Hour Variance, Cost Rate Variance, Contingency Analysis, and Gross Margin Analysis. This became a valuable monitor and control tool for all project managers in the office.Specialties: Creative problem solver, innovator, analytical, imaginative, work performance analysis, project manager, earned value management, change control, P&L, stakeholder engagementMy commitment to business results, hard work, and continued improvement has won me consistent promotions. If you are looking for these results from your next project manager, I look forward to hearing from you.
