I am a seasoned professional with over 20 years experience uniting technology, business and people. My passion is exploring new technical solutions and engaging with all teams to innovate solutions that are robust, check all the requirement boxes and are budget aligned. This passion is rooted in the joy I receive connecting with different teams across the business spectrum to solve business challenges and drive growth. Computers have always fit with my curious nature, desire to troubleshoot and build things. After obtaining several Microsoft certifications I started in help desk for a large financial corporation which evolved into my consulting position at Zones. While there I supported customers in IT engineering roles, traveled for customers to implement new solutions and managed large IT refreshes.After consulting I went client side for the $11BN+ Chicago Teacher’s Pension Fund. There I was responsible for the technical footprint and supported all departments. I designed and implemented new hardware/software solutions, the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity program, a diverse network for software development and led construction expansion projects. On the management side I created road maps for change management, implemented security firsts to lay a better foundation to meet growing needs and developed a cohesive team.My previous IT experience set me up for success at AHEAD (previously MBX Systems) where my eyes were opened to the world of manufacturing. I learned the multiple processes to get a solution to market and gained unbelievable practice on product R&D, supply chain management and program strategy.
