Sr Project Manager_PMP w/ Agile skills for SW and Infrastructure

Synopsis of Qualifications

Program/Project Management expert with over 20 years of accountable

leadership experience, including 15 years direct responsibility for

business driven technical and non-technical projects (Business Processes,

Operations, Infrastructure, and SW Development). IT initiatives under my

charge are managed at the Portfolio, Program, Project and Analyst level for

pursuit and execution. Effective preliminary planning, risk management,

scheduling, budgeting and execution

As an experienced PM additional key strengths exist in support to Business

Development teams, Analyst assessment and interpretation, bid & proposal

support, establishment and deployment of R&D test teams. Leadership

responsibility was gained through Fortune 500 companies, Defense, and

direct executive level interface. Previous Kudos and recognition

acknowledges my ability to specifically address and resolve conflicts for

resources and project pipeline prioritization, as well as resuscitation of

troubled project. My years of working level comfort and concise

presentation with Peer, Director, and "C-level" Stakeholders has yielded

trust and reliability. Numerous professional references use terms like

"focused", "experienced", "hard-working" and "knowledgeable leader" to

describe my demonstrated performance leading local, distributed and

composite teams from organizationally matrixed resource pools.

The blended approach of Agile and traditional methods is repeated across

the multiple simultaneous projects I've led in recent years as Agile has

evolved. Team management skills are proven to be adaptive and scalable as

I've partnered with technical experts to develop reliable, realistic

solutions; Staff and budget range from "micro-projects" to values over

$250M. Along the path I've honed facilitation, planning and execution

skills to become concise, tightly scoped integrated projects rolling up to

a "Program of record".

As an active and participating leadership team member I offer an arsenal of

"what if" preparedness and expert problem solving through established tools

and "one off" techniques in my toolbox.

My distinguished military and civilian sector career experience has

produced a strong work ethic, and an energetic personal drive; Personal

tempo and integrity assures accurate, reliable products and services for my

employer's benefit.

In the leader/worker role I offer guidance and experience coupled to my

other manager responsibilities. I take seriously the responsibility to

develop my team professionally and personally so there is mutual trust and

increased capability to perform and maximize effectiveness. This is often

achieved by focused mentoring, and encouragement of formalized skills

enhancement through training, and professional peer social networking.
