Skills
Summary
I am a lifelong learner who likes to understand at a deep level how things work (I took my Dad's bicycle completely apart at age 7 - down to the ball bearings). Outside of work I enjoy time with my family, and can be found as an avid supporter for 2 student-athlete lacrosse players (Penn State, and in High School), modifying BMW autos, working on and enjoying Yamaha boats and time on the water, cycling (outside and inside), and rebuilding/modernizing houses. As an experienced global professional and leader with decades of experience in technology, business operations, financial services and enterprise (ERP) systems I enjoy the fast paced and impact technology can make, I've driven global alliance activities between Accenture, Microsoft, and Avanade in Financial Services (Banking, Insurance, Capital Markets) for over 8 years which at Accenture. I've also coordinated strategic initiatives and industry alignment around blockchain, security, intelligent automation, grid compute, and other innovation topics spanning multiple industries. I've previously held various executive, VP, director, sales and management positions at leading companies including Yamaha, Fiserv, Infor/TriSyn Group, Old Kent Financial/Fifth Third, and smaller Tech companies. I have partnered with clients on establishing high-performance organizations, am a fan of organizational design, and leveraging technology for leading companies globally. In my work, my goals are to deliver a compelling value proposition that helps clients realize operational efficiency and superior market growth, most frequently through leveraging technology in a practical and human led way. Areas of focus and interest include: Blockchain, AI, Security, Data, Intelligent Automation, Cloud, Analytics, Technology, Alliance Management, Strategic Consulting and Facilities Development, Product Management, Product Lifecycle Management, Construction Management, Open Source Software, Odoo, Marketing, Brand Management, Competitive Analysis, Strategic Planning; Sales, Financial Services, Insurance, Real Estate, and Financial Planning.
