Workflow management is essential when you’re a PM, however, my #1 responsibility is to be an advocate for the team of talented people I manage, not dictate the manner and methods by which they complete their work.
My leadership style is collaborative and empathetic. True leaders inspire people to follow; they don’t tell them what to do.
I earned a MA and BA in Political Science from SDSU, as well as PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, and SAFe credentials.
If you are seeking a strategic technical consultant who can blend innovative thinking with tactical expertise implementing enterprise systems, cloud, and AI technologies, look no further!
My experience in leading diverse project teams and driving successful project execution in enterprise environments make me uniquely qualified to support your organization in achieving its technological ambitions.
I have over 20 years of experience as an technical consultant, project manager, and systems analyst, and have managed IT projects and portfolios that range from $1 million to $20 million.
I’ve cultivated a reputation as a “fixer” and have taken on a variety of intricate, multi-faceted (and often troubled) initiatives.
Companies like IBM, KPMG, Latham & Watkins and other Fortune 100/500 companies have relied on my expertise to guide their custom app dev, cloud, and AI/ML projects to successful completions.
In our fast-paced technology environment, hiring a consultant who’s not only strategic but also able to drive tactical efforts is crucial.
