My mission is to develop and lead effective teams through project engagements that meet sponsor and stakeholder expectations while realizing their projected business value. I was first introduced to the principles of project management while serving as a web development manager for a Fortune 100 company ($40 billion annual revenue, 160,000 employees). With graduate degrees in communication and education, the field of project management provides the perfect environment for me to build bridges between technical teams and executive leadership. I consider new projects on an ad hoc basis. I regularly network with other project managers, so when I am not available, I can help you locate high-integrity professionals for your consideration. I am an accomplished project manager with 18 years experience leading technology-driven projects in start-up, Fortune 100, and large non-profit organizations. Extensive background in coordinating multiple simultaneous projects with aggressive timelines and budgets. Project methodology specialist, with leadership experience in complete product life cycle, SDLC, and application support; known for effectively coordinating stakeholders to implement standards and oversight processes. Excellent facilitator with ability to communicate with management, business and technology leaders, engineers, and end users.
