RssSenior Manager, ePublications and LMS/CMS Applications Support

I am looking for a position that will allow me to leverage my unique leadership and technical skills in an entrepreneurial environment.

About Me

Industry:

Information Technology

Occupation:

Application Support

Highlights:

I have held leadership positions all my life, both elected and earned based on merit. I have built my own business from scratch and, in partnership with other principals, I have participated in the founding and expansion of two successful multi-million dollar, multi-unit companies, serving in them as Director of Operations and Vice-President of Operations, respectively. That being said, I have never been afraid to start at the bottom and work my way up. In 1992, I retrained, retooled, and changed careers. As a multimedia developer, and later, as an online content publisher, I started at the bottom of the food chain, proved myself over time, and subsequently, earned senior management positions in both of these job categories. I have managed projects successfully across multiple work groups, both internal and external, overseas and stateside. I have worked directly with and/or managed non-technical content creators and providers, technologists of all stripes and persuasions, and senior operating and corporate executives. Along the way I have developed a successful secondary career as a fine arts digital printmaker. Establishing a high level of competence in an art form has made me more credible and effective as a technology manager when working with folks on the design side of product development. I believe this fact, coupled with my considerable business, entrepreneurial and online publishing experience, provides me with a clear and commanding understanding of the various psychologies that come into play in technology projects where the delivery of content online to a consumer is the primary goal.
