Career Summary
I have more than 20 years of progressive IT experience in manufacturing, retail, law, distribution and warehousing with emphasis on global enterprise wide ERP and logistics systems solutions, hardware and software technology infrastructure, networking, and disaster recovery. I am open to relocation anywhere in the U.S.
I believe the role of the typical IT Manager is evolving into more than just a reactionary leader that solves problems as they arise. Business, as a whole, can be complimented through new ways of working using technology to be more productive through continued process improvement. IT is becoming a smarter, more intuitive asset that drives innovation beyond gadgetry and technology. I am confident that my hands on knowledge, experience, and insight can lead to a more productive atmosphere and a more cohesive, mutually beneficial interaction, within all business components.
