Senior Financial Cost Accountant,

I was hired based solely on my overall computer background in finance

and management accounting.

Immediately assigned to the SAP ERP implementation team. SAP is a

large integrated enterprise software system. At that time it dominated

the European and American market - The team consisted of someone who

fully understood the module they would be responsible for

I was assigned the Cost Accounting module - we dedicated 100% of our

time in implementing and testing the system to meet the divisional and

corporate requirement in a very strict timetable. Roughly nine months

ADC had approximately 17 divisions and we were the 3rd to be

implemented. Developed and created dashboards and Business

Intelligence reporting for senior staff.

Along with testing the integrated processes we established work

instructions and training manuals

After completion of the project and going live, I was responsible for

all costing and job costing analysis

Very proud of my accomplishments but felt I needed to expand and grow

outside of management accounting. As we are all aware the

telecommunication industry crashed in 2001. I left in 1999 to help

implement the Yisual manufacturing EREP system at Harco Laboratories

When PC was first introduced I took the immediate initiative to

program the complete budgeting process in the PC - saving weeks of

work

Continued fascination in the early stages of the PC and the declining

market of business lead me to ADC Telecommunication

I needed to understand the next generation of computers away from the

large mainframes into the ERP era

My initial management position. I left Automotive Controls Corp

because of a declining market of replacement automoive ignition parts

due to the advancement of electrical components in automotive

production - away from the mechanical. Echlin was subsequently sold

and the Branford facility closed in 2001

ITT Reserch and Development -Shelton, CT - 4/1981 - 4/1982

ITT was a leader in switchboard type telecommucaiions. The Shelton

facility was mainly an R&D facility. At that time they envisioned

going into the computer chip manufacturing and built a facility -

Wafer Development

I was hired to write up the complete manufacturing process. No

computers at that time and chips was in its infancy.

I completed the project but it took a toll on me traveling from North

haven to Shelton 6 days a week, so I took the opportunity of a

management position in Automotive Controls Corp

left to pursue management goals
