I really enjoy the diversity that my past has brought to my career. With over 15 years of development experience and 20 years of database administration, warehouse and analytics background, I look at myself now as a ‘utility/relationship player’ and able to perform in any aspect of IT or project management. For the past 5 years I have been focusing on IT Service Management and I am ITIL certified. I am adaptable, love to learn, love to coach, enthusiastic, and have a very positive attitude. I have been told that I perform my best when facing very difficult situations. I am looking for a role that will continue to allow me to wear many hats and not get ‘pigeon-holed’ into a single technology or skill. I have strong team leadership skills, I am an effective motivator and successful in building strong relationships. I believe in people, and that all people want to do the right thing. I practice an open-door participative leadership and communication style with a focus on consensus, continuous improvement and employee involvement to create a positive company culture. I hit conflict head-on with the intention of resolving issues as timely as possible and minimize collateral damage. I enjoy performing liaison role between business and IT, IT and executives, company and vendors. I have strong vendor relationship and negotiation skills. I have had positive working relationships at all levels of the organization from CEO to operators in all places of employment. I effectively communicate with executives, peers, direct reports and customers.
