PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
My goal is to utilize my experience in sales and service operations,
materials management and finance to support organizations implementing
Oracle applications. Over the last several years I have helped
organizations understand the linkage between their business strategy,
processes and software functionality and how to successfully make changes,
document configuration or process improvements and develop knowledge
transfer and training. My area of expertise includes Functional
Implementation Expert, Solution Design Architect and Project Management. My
career experience includes operational and software implementation
