SUMMARY
Business Analyst experienced in multiple industries, business process areas and subject matter areas. Proven successful communicator and representative of IT with the business as well as ensuring that I am the voice of the business when communicating requirements and active project status and details from the business back to IT. I strive in environments where I am able to bring areas/groups/people together for the purpose of identifying, understanding and handling issues – be that a known system or process issue or to build roadmaps for strategic visions and the alignment work that goes into ensuring strategic alignment. My ability to communicate with diverse groups of people allow me to ensure quality results are delivered to any area I represent, including business users across levels from plant operator to divisional presidents.
