**/**-*******: Department Manager for Scheduling and Earned Value Management,

SAIC

As the Department Manager for Scheduling and Earned Value Management, I am

responsible for the support of a variety of programs and clients, with a specific focus on

an on-going, multi-year engagement for a client located at the Edgewood Area of the

Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG-EA). Activities include, but are not limited to,

oversight of implementation of Earned Value Management Systems for external clients,

lending subject matter expertise and work product review for the development of

Monthly Earned Value metrics to include project status, variance, budget, cost and

schedule performance. I manage personnel traveling to client sites and participate in

Integrated Baseline Reviews and Joint Surveillance Reviews. I also work to Integrate

Earned Value data into Acquisition reporting documents and supervise the creation and

maintenance of complex programmatic schedules in Microsoft Project and/or

Primavera P3.

06/03– 09/08: Present: Senior Project Management Analyst, SAIC

As a Senior Project Management Analyst, I supported the U.S. Army Non-Stockpile

Chemical Materiel Project (NSCMP) whose mission is to safely destroy obsolete

chemical weapons and former chemical weapons production facilities. Duties included

project planning, developing project schedules, evaluating technical performance,

monitoring project cost, developing programmatic and management documentation

and supporting special studies.

All duties were completed by working closely with government clients on several

multimillion dollar projects. All assigned projects were completed on schedule and

under budget. I have received commendation letters from my customers and bonuses

from my employer in recognition of my performance.

04/98 – 01/02: Segment Marketing Manager, FCI Electronics

I was one of four Segment Managers conducting market research for an electronic

connector manufacturer by analyzing technology trends and developing market

strategies. My research predicted the convergence of digital telephones, MP3 players

and Personal Digital Assistants; consumer preference of cable modems over Digital

Subscriber Lines (DSL) internet service; the slow adoption of HDTV due to conflicting

technical standards; also predicted that personal computers (PCs) would not be

replaced by single purpose Digital Appliances. The insights provided were contrary to

prevailing thought and illustrate critical reasoning ability and independence of thought.

I provided guidance to the field sales organizations by developing annual marketing

plans, advised company executives on emerging technology standards, authored

strategic white papers for senior executive review and contributed to new product

development initiatives. I was the catalyst for e-commerce planning and

implementation.

09/94 -04/98: Northrop Grumman Corporation, Senior Engineer B

I was responsible for RF semiconductor market assessments to include product

planning and new product development initiatives. I was the principle liaison for the

semiconductor group supporting external sales representatives and distributors. I

worked to license semiconductor products through Dept of Defense and Dept of

Commerce and provided input to contract negotiations including product pricing and

volume quotes. I created product literature, a product tracking database and virtual

factory simulation models. The simulation models were used to perform capacity

planning and I presented a simulation paper at the International Manufacturing

Technology Conference (ManTech) in 1996.

06/87 -04/94: Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Pilot Line Supervisor

I was responsible for daily operations of silicon and gallium arsenide integrated circuit

manufacturing facilities and supervised over 50 semiconductor process technicians. I

increased Manufacturing Line Yield from 35% to 85%, resulting in over $1,000,000

annual savings and implemented a Precious Metals Recovery Program which saved an

additional $150,000 annually. I also implemented a cross-training program which

reduced product cycle time from 16 to 10 weeks.

Education: MBA, Loyola College in Maryland, 1998; BA, Business Management,
