PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL
With an impressive footprint in Project Management, Finance and Information Technology I’ve added exceptional value as liaison between business and technical groups. As a leader and an expert consultant, my experience moves the needle in strategizing, leading cross-functional teams delivering fundamental change, improvements in strategy, processes and profitability increases.
With degrees in Economics from Stanford University and a MBA from UCLA in Finance, I’ve always been instrumental as the link between business and technical staff, C Level Executives in IT, Business Units and Project Management functions including the PMO.
I have benefited from the mentor/protégé system and have always used it to bring my people and teams along. My protégés won both the Chairman’s award and the News Corporation awards at DIRECTV.
