Proven IT Consulting Expertise
As a seasoned IT professional with 39 years of experience, I excel at managing complex, multi-million-dollar projects and portfolios. My strategic approach and exceptional planning skills allow me to effectively negotiate across all organizational levels, delivering services in both direct and matrix structures.
Thriving in fast-paced environments, I excel at handling multiple concurrent projects while prioritizing tasks and balancing competing demands. With a strong business focus, I ensure the deployment of high-quality systems that consistently meet or exceed customer and user expectations.
Collaboration is central to my approach. I am highly proficient in working closely with project stakeholders, end-users, business partners, and technical teams to successfully deliver exceptional results. Over the past 20 years, I have seamlessly managed virtual teams across large, diverse global enterprises.
In addition to my extensive project management expertise spanning various industries, including banking and pharmaceuticals, I bring specialized knowledge in identity and access management (IDAM). Coupled with my deep understanding of regulated industries' requirements and experience navigating mergers and acquisitions (M&A), I am uniquely positioned to tackle complex IT challenges and deliver successful outcomes for my clients.
