Experience

SunTrust/Truist – Atlanta, GA Vice President, Portfolio Manager September 2016 – September 2020

As part of the Enterprise Data Organization, I led management of projects and programs for a large national bank, focusing on data analytics, system analysis, wholesale and cross functional projects including software and infrastructure projects. My focus was on improving the organization and accessibility of information on our data lake in order to improve the time needed to load, disburse, and query the data while also increasing the security of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). I helped develop policies and standards for how and where data will reside as well as formalize standards for its organization and maintenance. In addition to my work with analytics, I led development teams within the wholesale, consumer, and mortgage segments, being responsible in each area for both larger, more formal projects and smaller, quicker projects to deliver immediate value. I provided mentoring and training to more junior employees being groomed for management.

I led and helped coordinate post-merger activities as Suntrust evolved into Truist Bank with responsibility for evaluation and selection of surviving systems that would allow what were two large national banks to seamlessly exchange information as they merged into a single entity. This coordination was done with global cross functional teams doing both new development and integration and mapping of existing systems.

SITA – Atlanta, GA Senior Technical Project Manager August 2015 – August 2016

Led development and implementation for international organization designing infrastructure for use by regional airlines. The focus was on development and improvement of interfaces to allow customers to make supplemental, post ticketing purchases (premium seating, meals, priority boarding, additional bags, etc.) on airline web sites through our APIs.

Ernst and Young – Alpharetta, GA Senior Technical Project Manager March 2014 – July 2015

Led development and implementation of software platform used by hedge funds, partnerships, and REITs for calculation and allocation of investments, profits, and losses of partners in investment entities. Applications developed in .net, web based and used by multi-national corporations to allow for real time allocation, modeling, and tax planning for partnerships and individuals within the organization.

Elavon, Inc – Atlanta, GA Senior Project Manager October 2012 –January 2014

Responsible for leading Project Management activities for a leading highly matrixed credit card processing company. Responsible for managing all project related activities including budget, stage gating, technical solution and go to market activities. Implemented on-line merchant application system which shortened time required to authorize a merchant to accept charges from 4 days to 15 minutes. Developed optimized routing system allowing large (primarily airline) customers to process charges in the country in which the card was issued, reducing fees for optimizable cards by ~60% and splitting savings with the customer. This is projected to increase profits by $2-3M annually per participating airline.

Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI)– Atlanta, GA April 2001 – Sep 2012

Research Faculty/Senior Research Scientist, Senior Project Manager

Extensive experience with Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for both Waterfall and Agile development methodologies. Used both Primavera and MS Project for project planning and scheduling. Led business development and proposal writing projects for competitive bids and have been part of Integrated Project Teams that have been awarded multi-year contracts on several DoD projects.

As member of Quality Council, I was one of around 10 members of a 1500 employee organization leading our effort to become certified at CMMI Level 3, including leading development of PMDS software system referenced below. I also helped develop our internal Project Director Certification program and wrote and taught day Risk Management as part of program. Taught class 12-15 times to around 200 Georgia Tech faculty members.

During development, the need for use of this tool for medical research was identified, so the product was adapted to meet that need through joint development with Emory.

Georgia Tech decided to license the product to other institutions, and I was selected to lead those efforts.

Represented Georgia Tech for in person demonstrations at many leading institutions including University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Washington University (Saint Louis), UCLA, and Cedars Sinai Hospital
