EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Nearly my entire professional career has been devoted to Program and Project Management, all within the

Healthcare and Banking verticals. Although most of my work has been focused on Information Technology

project assignments, I have evolved my practice to include projects driving IT projects from the business end of

projects. My passion for project management translates into my full commitment to achieving project success,

especially those requiring extraordinary effort, creativity, leadership, and technical skills.

For virtually all of these Projects I retained full accountability for all aspects of the work, including budget,

scope and schedule, stakeholder communication plus the formation and management of supporting PMO’s.

Most of these Projects were implemented employing SDLC’s and framework consistent with prevailing

standards (e.g. ITIL, PMI) as well as more contemporary DLC processes (e.g. RAD, Six Sigma)with required

custom modifications necessary to ensure the project work remained consistent with the architecture of the

staff, the policies and practices of the company, and its wherewithal to complete the work.

All Programs and Projects undertaken met or exceeded their primary goals, the most prominent including key

responsibilities in planning and implementing Kaiser Permanente’s EPIC Program ($5+BB), Medicare Part D

(cost over $100MM, and collects annual, additional revenues exceeding $250MM), and a de novo Self Funding

Program (cost $135MM) which added significant market reach and expansion to Kaiser Permanente.

In addition to very large projects, I have had identical success with ground level assignments, offering

outstanding opportunity for me to remain connected with evolutions in healthcare business and technologies.

This is exemplified by projects such as ICD 9 to ICD 10 conversion, clinical and business Informatics using

emerging EHR architectures (e.g. EPIC’s Cogito DW), and WEB development using .NET and Cold Fusion.
