Summary

Passion for Solutions Through Technology It's not the same as just a passion for technology. It's not the same as pushing the envelope. It's pushing the envelope to solve a problem... usually a business problem... using technology. That's what I do and love to do - solve the really hard problems. A quick snapshot: Director, Manager, and Principal Architect/Developer with SME level knowledge and experience in cloud, servers and clients, and media technologies. ● Adept at new product development from POC and at refocusing failing projects to successfully meet their true business goals. Strong expertise in root cause analysis and improving the total customer experience. ● Laser focused on achieving business goals through technology, rather than technology for technology’s sake, with history of reducing costs and increasing revenue. ● Experience managing local & remote teams up to 45, and budgets up to $15M. ● Strengths: Crafting solutions for chaotic situations, building effective teams to own the problem space, distinguishing the business need from the technology symptoms and focusing on the business problem. ● At my best: With the responsibility and expectation of turning ambiguous issues/problems into focused short and long-term successes. ● Culture fit: One of enablement, trust, respect, empowerment and clear communication. Believe in failing fast, course correcting and moving forward, having just enough guidelines and process while not choking innovation or damaging quality. ● What drives me: The opportunity to make a difference; winning every day! Bring. It. On.
