SUMMARY:

• I've worked in all roles and stages of the SDLC (developer, architect, analyst, project manager, etc.) - -in private, public, and non-profit organizations--have served in IT leadership roles, and worked with some of the largest retailers, software providers, and companies.
• At this stage in my career I am a seasoned professional who is able to handle large and diverse initiatives working with stakeholders and peers across multiple departments (ERP, EDI, Network & Infrastructure, Marketing, Sales, and Finance), companies, and countries/time zones.
• Having led the technical implementation from design to rollout for multi-million dollar projects, I translate organizational goals into technology solutions, and use technology to help innovate, look forward, and problem solve.
• While I am a seasoned professional, I'm a continual student of technology, process, and communication; actively learning new paradigms and techniques, attending Webinars, and further enhancing my business, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
• I welcome future opportunities, meeting new individuals and organizations, and those environments where I can help to bring value, flourish, and give back.
