With over 16 years experience in publishing and production, most recently at the executive level, I am an expert at global sourcing as well as full project management. I have developed workflows and instituted new technologies to the benefit of cost, schedule, and quality. I am as good with people as I am with process, and am adept at fostering cross-departmental and vendor relationships. Whether by leading the team, or by executing the strategy, I am looking to fill a role that will utilize my project coordination and negotiating skills to create a successful product.
