With over 20 years’ experience in technology, I create value for customers by bridging business and IT teams by managing different leadership roles. I have a computer science background and I'm an early adapter of innovative technologies, tools, and languages to drive efficiency. I'm adept at managing complex portfolios, programs and projects. I am passionate and driven by values of transparency, integrity, personal growth, and social responsibility as a foundation for client and partner success. My expertise spans Sales, Marketing, R&D, CRM, B2B, Regulatory Affairs, and Finance.My career is driven by experiences and opportunities across the entire technological spectrum: client consultant and supplier, software development, operational, coding, hardware, and network protocols. Thanks to my range of experience, I’m especially good at linking various technology businesses.I began as an intern and moved quickly into a lead position, becoming one of the few staffers to combine technological and financial skills. Able to learn and adapt quickly, I excel in understanding customer needs and translating them into action, thus becoming a valuable contributor in developing operational strategies. Known as an influential leader, I have a history of motivating cross-functional teams to attain success. I thrive at delivering solutions that align with critical business needs. I am really in my element when refining processes, managing virtual teams, and cultivating meaningful professional relationships--all tasks requiring a great deal of focus, dedication, and motivation.I am open to discussing opportunities in the Greater San Diego area and beyond.
