In the work environment, technology ranks with air, water, food, and shelter. It is what makes work possible. For an organization to thrive, it relies on consistent, reliable performance and information security. I am a creative thinking innovator and information technology leader bringing a broad range of experience to help complex organizations do more with less. I’m also an infrastructure and architect Subject Matter Expert. I fold in project management expertise and 22+ years of experience into solutions and architecture that results in fast, secure, and dependable networks. Dependability means fewer problems, lower operating costs, and increased productivity. As a collaborative business and technology leader, I leverage my IT expertise, project management, and data architecture skills to guide teams, to work cross-functionally, and to put complex problems on a fast track to resolution. I embrace an empowerment-leader model because it is an effective means to unleash an employee’s latent talent and challenge themselves to push the envelope. It fosters their growth, builds common bonds, and achieves desired outcomes. It also tends to make work more enjoyable.And I have long since learned to break down complex, technical concepts into understandable language that users can digest and, conversely, translated user requirements into comprehensive technical projects and plans. I dare say this is a talent that not all engineers have mastered, and I am grateful for landing somewhere on the talent spectrum, between deep analyst and effective communicator. The scale of projects and responsibilities calls for keen financial management over multi-million-dollar budgets. My skill in managing budgets has lowered costs without trading performance. This also brings high service levels to our stakeholders.Here are some notable achievements as a leader, innovator, and strategic technology champion:➣ Developed and Deployed COVID-19 Work-from-Home Infrastructure, During Merger, Within 6 Weeks.➣ Tech Leader Building Secure Private Network in 3 Days and Tearing it Down for Annual Convention.➣ Migrated Entire Data Center infrastructure with No Notice and No Loss of Service.➣ Streamlined and Reduced Processes from 12 to 1 and Labor by 20% for Cargill Global IT Network Performance and Operations.➣ Stood up Offices in London and Shanghai w/ Complete Infrastructure, Data Rooms, Hardware Migration.If you’re a like-minded professional and would like to share ideas, stories, or opportunities, I would love to join your network!
