INTRODUCTION

I am a senior level professional looking for a new challenge with an innovative company. My ideal position involves creativity, problem-solving, applying technology, application development and communication. I have spent the majority of my career solving business problems by applying technology within a BPO transaction processing environment. I am an innovator with a passion for products. I possess an array of hard and soft skills that will help me succeed in a variety of roles. I am comfortable in a business analyst, project manager or product manager role or any combination of the three. I have managed people and have headed operations.
