Solution Architecture Resume

SUMMARY

I'm a seasoned product executive, architect, leader, and strategist specializing in the Confidential process on the Apttus platform.
My expertise allows me to take complex business processes and requirements, distill them down into logical and understandable components and then implement them using out of the box configuration techniques.
How am I successful with this? My approach starts with identifying the desired business outcomes for the initiative.
Once the business drivers are properly identified, I then focus my efforts on achieving those outcomes.
This usually always starts with product rationalization, which is the foundation for every successful implementation, and an area that I am an expert in.
When you get products and pricing right, the rest of the process is a breeze. xperience
