Description
SUMMARY I am proven leader with many years of management experience. Among the earliest adaptors of Agile / SCRUM methodologies, which I used to lead teams internationally to shorten development times, greatly increasing quality and time-to-market, and keeping companies on the leading edge while increasing market share. I'm constantly testing new development languages and tools to stay on the leading edge while insuring I use the best tool for the job, regardless of age. I am also an expert negotiator on the international stage leading to better strategic partnerships, strong vendor ties, and markedly improved manufacturing costs. I enjoy mentoring and have strong skills in this area which I use to improve group productivity and motivate staff to achieve company goals. Over 20 years of marketing, finance, budget, legal, and intellectual property responsibilities at the Fortune 500 level allowing "big picture" understanding of company operations and goals.
