ABOUT ME
I am a skilled project manager with experience in business process
management, ERP solutions for manufacturing, distribution and finance, as
well as IT management and support.
I have more than 12 years of industry experience with Oracle (JDE,
PeopleSoft, Hyperion, etc), all with large, international companies. I
have professional working experience with the business processes and
requirements for operating business solutions on a global scale.
I enjoy working directly with clients, whether they are external or
internal. I believe it is essential to build a working rapport and
understanding of my client's business to work most effectively with them.
I am a natural communicator, and can explain complex technical or business
issues and concepts to a variety of technical and non-technical audiences;
from technical staff to senior executives.
My goal is to become a subject matter expert on ERP implementation,
support, business process integration and management, either in a senior
consulting role or well placed in a corporate IT organization.
