Summary
I m a Project Manager who bridges the gap between business
users and technical resources in software implementations
and the associated business process improvements. My mix of
accounting/financial systems knowledge and the technologies
behind them contribute to my being able to manage successful
Enterprise Resource Planning implementations -including
yours.
In my projects, I can
lead teams that need to replace legacy financial/human
resources/supply chain systems and deliver full-featured ERP
systems which include accounting, procurement, Payroll and
HR functionality. I can provide end-to-end project
management expertise, whether your project involves a system
selection or a full blown implementation. I have a passion,
almost an obsession, for making processes and technology
work correctly in order to assist organizations reach their
maximum potential.

Project Manager
As a Management
Consultant, I assisted organizations in evaluating their
business systems and processes. I made recommendations for
how those systems and processes could best be utilized in
support of the organization s goals based on best practices.
My focus was on financial/accounting and HR/Payroll systems,
however, I am equally at home in analyzing technical
infrastructure including networking, servers and desktop
systems. Once solutions were identified, I advised on and
managed the implementation of those solutions.

Program Manager
I managed the
community opening process for over 50 projects. This meant
working with stakeholders to develop, implement and manage a
more efficient way to open communities from land acquisition
to home sales. To accomplish this, I analyzed and documented
existing processes; reviewed the human interactions,
documented and prototyped various hand-offs and created a
scheduling template, complete with appropriate dependencies.
I facilitated workshops to document process flows and
coordinated with programmers in the creation of a community
tracking database for the collection of all required data
points. The end result was streamlined process and reduced
cycle times from land identification through the community
opening.
