In the world of technology, there is no shortage of gnarly problems. This looks like a job for me: a problem-solving expert, who understands client requirements, challenges and obstacles, then formulates strategies to enable success. As an accomplished Product Owner experienced in managing solutions development, product design, reporting, quality assurance, and high-level customer support, I love getting my hands dirty, and finding the solutions that truly allow teams to move forward. When I’m on board, you can count on a high-level solutions mindset, as I solve tough issues with the utmost respect to everyone involved. ★ As the Product owner for LS2 Circulation, we implemented many changes to the front end to improve workflows. During this time, my team created what was described as the Cadillac of reserves modules. ★ In my role as Product Owner of TLC's Cognos-based Reports offering, I took on a challenging product backlog and worked with stakeholders to sequence development priorities, communicating with clients on changes to development time frames in a way that remarkably turned their perception of the reporting product around.Highly adept at learning new industries with new and complex database schemas, I am open to leverage my skills in diverse sectors from IT to healthcare to nonprofit organizations. As a leader, I strive to empower everyone on the team to learn, grow, and contribute. If a team member learns so much that he or she moves into other positions in the company with increased responsibilities, then I’ve done my job. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾Technical Proficiencies: IBM Cognos ReportNet, IBM Cognos 10/11, Toad, MS SQL Query Analyzer, Oracle – SQL Developer, SQL, Jira, and MS Office.
