I am a Senior Business Technologist and Project Director based in Orlando,

Florida. I am a business professional dealing with issues and solutions to

problems in the areas of Information Lifecycle Data Management, electronic

business transaction flow and business intelligence data storage &

retrieval. With a focus on enterprise-wide business analytics I address

the institutional challenges to reform the business processes across the

board. I am a leader in the organizational challenge to move from a siloed

approach to more inclusive information management programs that work across

the entire company.

I provide a complete skill set coupled with a professional business sense

that provides me with the ability to understand complex business situations

and 'pare' them down to achievable action steps. I have the ability to

bounce from technical discussions with engineers to business analytical

reviews with senior management. My drive, enthusiasm and team work skills

allow me to define, develop and implement business process solutions to

complex business problems.

As an experienced computer systems professional functioning as an

information and data architect, I have gained valuable skills and

knowledge by working in a wide range of industries and applying a varied

set of technology solutions to complete project tasks and resolve client

problems. My employment and consulting history includes such businesses as

Manufacturing/Distribution, Pharmaceuticals, Oil & Gas, Petrochemical,

Telecommunications, Public Accounting, Banking and Finance, Resort and

Hotel Management, and Retail Sales and Distribution. Within these

organizations, I have performed in positions as Programmer Analyst, Project

Manager, Operations Director, Director of Development, Chief Information

Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

My skills include the ability to take charge of projects, generate cohesive

team participation and complete assignments in a timely manner. Since

each task of a successful project depends on all previous and subsequent

tasks, I have developed project management and team building skills while

utilizing precedence and critical path method management techniques. My

experience with various computational frameworks, including Client Server,

Distributed Data Warehousing, and Centralized Mainframe, provide a basis

and experience to address significant business enterprise issues and

provide solutions. I have worked with Electronic Business Flow Management

(EBFM) systems utilizing EDI and Web Commerce and other electronic

transaction tools to implement business-to-business communications

solutions in conjunction with International/Global ERP systems deployments.

During my career, I have enjoyed an in depth involvement with a varied set

of technologies and utilized them to provide productive and cost effective

business solutions. As a Project Manager, I have worked around the globe

reaching from the Prudhoe Bay Alaska to Hong Kong to Europe and Mexico.

Working on massive projects like the Prudhoe Bay Sealift Project in Alaska

to major manufacturing/distribution operations involving airfreight

operations from Hong Kong to the USA, and warehouse management systems in

Europe, I have developed team management and implementation skills

enabling these and other projects to be completed on time and within

budget. I am well versed in financial systems and operations working

several years in commercial banking industry and public accounting. I have

implemented Enterprise Resource Planning systems for

manufacturing/distribution, electronics and pharmaceutical companies. I

have also designed and implemented various

manufacturing/distribution/financial electronic transaction systems for

major manufacturers in the USA, Europe and China.
