Summary

• As a Program Manager, risk management, resource and program planning have occupied my efforts for over 14 years. I have a broad background, which includes continuous process improvement and modeling BPM , acquisition program management and procurement activities with proven skills supervising cross-functional teams as well as collaborating with key executives to ensure high-quality project completion. These efforts included all phases of program acquisition requirements analysis though delivery of product. Analysis of operations and recommendations for key process improvements included managing complex concurrent projects and development of solutions to operational issues. Financial process improvement methods resulted in customer-streamlined activities, processes, and metrics while increasing accuracy based on data driven analytics. IT Software-hardware systems development is another area of experience. Risk management experience helped control operational costs.
• Prior experience includes development and management of the project work plan, including work sequencing, work breakdown structure, work delivery schedule, and resource allocation. Project Management includes experience in design, integration, test, and implementation. This included Earned Value reporting as well as subcontract management and customer interface for program reviews.
• Ongoing education efforts targeting active Cyber Security and Defense fundamentals have included networks, intrusion detection, and risk management and mitigation. Certified Ethical Hacking CEH coursework completed in early 2010. Certification for Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt completed in October 2011. Masters level IT Security classes completed with Villanova University in 2012. Cyber Security Bachelor of Science degree studies are ongoing at UMUC with completion in 2014.
• As you can see by my background, I am well qualified for a leadership position in a challenging team environment. My strengths are in execution planning, acquisition program management, managing risks, and engineering development. I have a history of achieving high-quality results in fast-paced, dynamic work environments.
• Prior clearances were held for interim Secret and NAIC. I am PMP certified and an instructor for the PMP preparation classes within PMI Baltimore including Risk Management classes.
