I’m a results-driven IT leader and project manager with extensive experience leading high-performing teams and delivering successful projects. Building great teams who deliver great results is what drives me. I strongly believe it starts with leadership by example. Passion, commitment, dedication, and motivation are contagious.Technology in search of a purpose doesn’t interest me. Neither does old school command and control environments. I’m a tried-and-true supporter of servant leadership and how it helps build great teams. Likewise, I’m a firm believer in how agile methodologies can deliver faster and better solutions. After leading the transition to Kanban and then Scrum, I’ve seen firsthand the benefits of using agile methodologies to deliver faster and better solutions. As a leader, I believe the best thing I can do is to keep the path clear for the team and provide the coaching and support they need to succeed.With deep technology and business experience, I thrive in roles where technology is used to help the business succeed. Beyond leadership and project management, I’ve also been responsible for all other aspects of leading technology teams, including:* Owning the budget forecasting & expense tracking process for the $10M technology budget* Managing vendor relationships vendors and negotiating contracts and license renewals* Overseeing the design and development of 3 data warehouse and reports* Creating the business resiliency testing and recovery plan* Managing the technology and vendor compliance auditsAs a life long learner in aspects of my life, I’m always looking for new challenges. If I’m not in front of a screen, you’ll likely find me working on woodworking projects or trying out new recipes.
