PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Time Warner / Charter / Spectrum January 2018 – March 2018

Consultant, Merger & Acquisitions Consulting Analytics

Performed post-merger migration analysis, planning and evaluation to fully migrate the merged

companies into one enterprise from the three separate company domains in place. This

includes, customer care centers, billing systems, data / telephony infrastructure and many systems

in use by the merged companies today.

As a result of the $65 Billion merger between Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications and

Bright House Networks, the level of effort to seamlessly combine the merged companies into one

enterprise has taken longer than the executive management team now in place expected.

My role was to perform a complete assessment of the existing technologies, develop a

plan and recommendations in order that the companies can migrate all systems and technologies

into one Charter Communications enterprise platform.
