A proven leader and broad-based IT/IS professional, I delivered successful

projects across multiple functions/industries to enhance productivity plus

product and service quality. Successful with global leaders Mitsubishi,

Fujitsu and Xerox, I maximized customer satisfaction while enhancing year-

over-year revenues. Transferable skills include:

? Achieving outstanding results on multiple projects in diverse

industries

? Effectively resolving product development/process improvement issues

? Consistently meeting demanding objectives and timelines

? Streamlining technical operations to eliminate needless costs

? Building/leading superior technical teams to exceed objectives

In addition to a BA from Loyola Marymount University, I received a

hardware/software certification from UCLA. I offer a firm grounding in

multiple languages, platforms, tools and operating systems (complete list

available), and have been acknowledged as a superior contributor by each of

my employers.

Distinctive Accomplishments

Turned around under-performing technical services group. Glovia's

installation group, a revenue generator as well as a key service provider,

had missed its $750K sales target for two years running. Upgraded

installation and scheduling procedures, boosting CSI by 50% while

generating $1.2M in annual sales (130% of target).

Enhanced software migration/conversion processes to bolster satisfaction of

major global customers. Migration/conversion tools supplied by Development

were very slow causing several key customers unacceptable processing

delays. Streamlined processes to allow for parallel conversion steps,

reducing actual conversion times by up to 50%. Played key role in

maintaining strong loyal customer base to enhance Glovia's overall revenue

stability.

Streamlined global data center operation to cut costs/expand Internet

support. Costs for remote data services were consistently exceeding

revenues for the customer base being served. Sourced an alternate vendor,

migrating all customers to more efficient technical environment. Slashed

annual costs $200-250K while boosting service quality.

Initiated maintenance/support program to optimize service for key customer

segment. 30% of Glovia's global customer base consisted of companies with

fewer than 20 end-users that could not afford full Oracle support fees or

manage this function on their own. Co-authored subscription service to

resolve the problem and boost overall customer satisfaction. Generated up

to $200K per year in recurring revenues.

Revamped tools/procedures to boost new software product installation times.

Existing Glovia tools/processes limited new product installations to four

per month. Created scripts, tools and procedures to automate the creation

of new customer environments on multiple remote servers. Increased

installation capability six-fold to 25 per month.
