My role was leading technical projects, primarily for Dow Chemical, implementing a global Centralized VOIP solution using Cicso technologies. I managed a cross-functional team including 6 internal groups, the Customer and varying numbers of external vendors and telco carriers, for successful migrations and greenfield implementations. Additionally, I worked on other Customers including City of Irvine and the State of Wisconsin. • Implemented a holistic approach ensuring projects were not in conflict with each other or Day 2 operations. This included the reduction of re-work and Customer dis-satisfiers by developing more timely and complete communications with cross-functional Day 2 support groups.• Improved communications with the Customer, becoming involved earlier in the projects and developing standards for information required to support both Test and Turn-ups and First Day of Business support. This allowed for realistic timelines to be developed and adhered to. This increased trust with the Customer and an improved overall relationship.• Transformed implementation team culture to improve work accuracy and timeliness, reducing cutover times by 50% and eliminating 80% of missed requirements.• Reduced Cutover times by 50% and the contracted First Day of Business support headcount and man hours reduced by 60%.• Provided training across cross-functional teams on creating minimum data sets and communicating with the Customers in a way that was meaningful to them. This reduced the amount of missed detail that would result in ad-hoc work being done after the fact by 80%.• Partnered with Dow to develop First Day of Business processes to standardize trouble reporting resulting in the reduction of headcount required by Dow to support.• Completed Global Headquarters migration of 18k+ users across 135 buildings with minimal impact and in less time than forecasted. The defect level was less than 3%.• Adapted standard process to meet local cultural needs and customs.

My role was leading technical projects implementing a global VOIP solution for Dupont Chemical, using Avaya technologies. I managed internal resources and external vendors across the globe for successful upgrades and greenfield implementations.
