Detroit, MI

2002-2007 - JWTDirector, Systems Development

Responsible for the formulation and execution of system strategies supporting over 3000

users

on four continents. In addition to my strategic duties, I have directed, and continue to

direct the

development and operational activities of a team of eight to eleven local development

staff,

along with additional offshore resources.

My role required constant interaction with executives, the ability to clearly define

system

requirements and solutions based upon disparate requirements, and the continuing need to

ensure proper communication between my staff and various executive clients.

Key Milestones:

Platform Migration: Identified a necessary strategic directional shift which generated

first-year

savings of more than $700,000. Recognized the synergism of multiple independent project

requirements as the catalyst driving a conversion to restack from IBM and other

technologies to

the Oracle technology stack.

Development Platform Standardization: Streamlined development processes and standards,

enabling the delivery of systems more quickly and with 37.5% fewer development resources.

Standardized team on J2EE development, eliminating development on ASP, Access, Lotus

Notes, Remedy and other development platforms, resulting in the ability to deliver higher

quality

solutions in a repeatable fashion.

Operational Enhancements: Reduced production bugs by more than 80% through the

establishment of Project Management, Production Support and QA practices, improving

customer satisfaction, and overall communication.

Production Environment Management: Implemented change management and a division of

duties to place appropriate restrictions and control over the production systems

environment.

Increased Scope and Influence: Firmly established the Detroit Systems Development

practice

as the enterprise solutions strategy Center of Excellence for JWT Worldwide, by moving

the

Systems Development practice from the delivery of small, departmental-focused proprietary

technology-based applications into the delivery of enterprise, open standards-based

solutions

serving thousands of users in a 24x7 environment.

Industry Recognition: Systems recognized for the exceptional business value generated.

Prototype and production systems profiled in industry publications and at industry
