Senior Project Manager / IT Manager

I consistently achieved aggressive business and project goals while ensuring customer satisfaction. By employing my leadership and analytical skills, I applied the numerous customer relationship, communication, cost, time, quality, and HR management components of project management, as the basis for successful project leadership.

I offer a strong proven skillset that is applicable in any enterprise software application environment. This would include both a senior leadership role within an IT or consulting organization.

MSBIT, Walsh College, Troy, MI. BA in English, Oakland University, Auburn Hills, MI. I hold a PMP certification from the Project Management Institute and a CMII certification from the Institute of Change Management.

Additionally, I am a regular presenter at the SPLM Americas Consulting Conference on business consulting and advanced project management topics.
