My role as an Application owner began in early 2005. I've managed over ten different applications during that time, deepening my skills in the key areas of application technical, project management, and business controls. I have made significant strides in improving the audit readiness for my apps over the years and hold a solid track record for successful project deployments. I have personally been involved with transitioning my applications through four major WW segmentation projects (Lenovo, Xccelerator, Infoprint, RSS), and have demonstrated consistently successful results without fallout.In 2011 I was recognized within the WW BT/IT community as an "Outstanding Application Owner" for passing an ASCA audit compliance review with "0" findings, a significant achievement. I owned a Canadian web application for several years (VIP2) and continue to be the Geo rep for another web based app (PnC). Throughout this time I have participated in side initiatives that have expanded my web related skills. One example includes a personal initiative towards finding ways to making improvements within the AO community. This led to the creation of the WikiCentral/Lotus Connection sites to help support our AO team in Canada and a the creation of a second site for AO's at the WW BT/IT level. I have also played a focal role in supporting Geno/Lotus Connections for the Canadian BT/IT team.

In 2000 I was hired on as a National Product Manager to run the xSeries Options brand in Canada. It was here that I was able to turn around a very disorganized and neglected side of the Brand. I drove significant achievements related to inventory management (product turns/freshness/reduced returns), GP, revenue, team education and Channel engagement. A key personal accomplishment was the development of an inventory stockingmodel/tool set which enabled the Brand to better manage it's Distributor inventory through weekly on-site reviews and drive significant increases in revenue. This approach drove several $M in additional load each week, aligned the BPs to the brand's stocking/sell strategy, and reduced returns to record lows. I personally helped create other critical tools and processes which resulted in significant improvements in overall Inventory management. These new approaches were extremely effective, allowing me to consistently achieve both the revenue and inventory targets repeatedly quarter after quarter. This is significant since I was able to bring a grossly out of control inventory portfolio (> $7M when I started in 2000) to running consistently under target (< $1M) each quarter close for my last few years in the role. I was recognized with several awards - key ones being several Bravo and Ovation awards I received in recognition of my outstanding leadership and superior product management support.

I started my IBM career in 1997 as an IT specialist on the PSMT (pre-sales marketing team) and quickly rose to become a key leader within the group. Based on a solid performance and deep product knowledge I was given the responsibility for the most challenging product line in the portfolio (xSeries Servers). I proactively fostered a unique team approach with respect to collaborating, networking and building strong relationships between myself and each of the technical leads supporting the Brand of my specialty. I then leveraged these relationships to consistantly increase our team's knowledge through on site customer server installs, product demos, knowledge transfer/education, etc. I was recognized with several awards - key ones being recognized as the top specialist in the team 2yrs in a row as well as a customer satisfaction award for developing and maintaining the 1st PSMT web site.
