SUMMARY Manager of Data Center Operations, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Manager for each company I was with. Specifically, with GE Capital in 1991, a Data Center Relocation performed over a weekend with no downtime. At Paramount Pictures, the team "relocated" the Data Center from New York to LA. That again was over a weekend with no downtime. At ADP, Business Continuity was made part of the corporate culture. In 2000, as the Data Center Manager of what was called "2nd" site. I was the Operations / Project Manager that built and managed the entire Operations from designing, staffing, budgeting, testing and coordinating any changes to the multiplatform systems that were a mirror of the production systems 100 miles away. We were a complete replicated Data Center that was able to fully recover all systems within four hours of a declared emergency.
