I manage complex, enterprise-wide programs/projects to successful, under-
budget completions and move costly projects back on track. In crucial
positions that include Program Management for Business or IT Projects, I've
transformed action plans into solutions that build the bottom line. If
your organization has a need for talent in this area, my background will be
of interest.
Skilled in full life cycle program/project management and departmental
management, I led successful international projects by utilizing my skills
in global enterprise project management office, Six Sigma, IT and IS, and
budget, SLA management, resource and vendor management. I've conducted
risk analyses and process improvements while enabling seamless, IT and non-
IT implementations.
Consistently selected to manage complex projects, employers and
colleagues alike value my organizational skills, risk and impact analysis,
project facilitation, keen understanding of business needs and successful
development of ideas that work. I'm known for my ability to quickly
troubleshoot projects and build strong, multi-disciplinary implementation
teams.
My program/project leadership improved operations for several companies.
For a global billion-dollar manufacturing/sales/service corporation, I
conducted a detailed analysis utilizing Business Process Mapping for
customer and operational value-add which rescued an international business
operations systems project, avoiding $20M in service penalties. I also
saved Alltel $250K by efficiently managing an upgrade project.
I've developed and led innovative global program/projects that completed
ahead of schedule and below budget while streamlining and improving
operations. I have consistently been selected to take control of projects
that are in trouble because of my "can do" attitude and my results-oriented
drive.
I earned an MBA and BS in Computing Science from the University of
Evansville. Awarded PMP certification, I have additional experience in
multiple platforms, tools and operations support protocols. My
proficiencies include Six Sigma practices and I am conversant in Russian.
Key Skills:
o Developed and led innovative program/projects that streamline and
improve operations
o Quickly troubleshooting to eliminate bottlenecks and turn around
struggling projects
o Building strong, multi-disciplinary implementation teams
o Translating "out-of-box" thinking into profitable project completions
o Demonstrated ability to own, influence and accept accountability for
project success
Selected Accomplishments
Rescued global operations project. Failed plan to replace Diebold Brazil's
CRM system escalated to urgent due to system inadequacy and vendors
canceled support. Determined and presented impact and schedule of
replacement system, receiving corporate buy-in to install Oracle, avoiding
potential $20M in penalties and loss of new business. Created project plan
and organized teams to implement Brazil's solution.
Designed and implemented nationwide procurement project. Diebold required
continuous operations during procurement software implementation. Set
schedules, managed vendors, operating standards, and trained staff,
completing project for 350 subcontractors, 500 Field Service Managers in 60
branches in less than six months and $600K+ under budget.

Centralized installation management. To operate more efficiently, Diebold
needed to coordinate installation and service operations for 60- branches,
utilizing an Operations Command Center (DOCC). Developed scope of work,
staff utilization outline, schedule, communications plan and
implementation, reducing branches' job load 40% through DOCC operations.
Slashed project costs. Alltel's Multitrak Time Reporting & Enterprise
Project Management Tool needed extensive upgrades to meet the industry's
compliance standards. Created and implemented an action plan, upgrading
only the tool sections specific to Alltel operations. Saved Alltel $250K of
the $300K outsourced consulting cost.
Drove efficiency and Best Practices. Charged with improving processes for
enterprise-wide Diebold North America (DNA) projects. Led HQ functional
support efforts required to facilitate effective project implementations
associated with SST/ATM products, field support and global processes and
interfaced with all functional support groups to optimize project results.
Improved service delivery/client support. Tasked with review and
optimization of service delivery and customer satisfaction levels for ETC
Computers, Inc. Established Client Services Support Desk, problem
reporting controls and Service Level Agreements. Released software
versions more regularly while establishing software version control,
maximizing end user utilization and satisfaction.
Created company's first Client Server Application. Alltel Information
Services needed greater infrastructure support for applications and
operations. Developed and managed a new organization to support the
deployment, maintenance and enhancement of Alltel's first Client Server
project (PowerBuilder software, UNIX Platform, Oracle RDBMS). Structured
the organization and created standard procedures to support 1300 end user
customers.
