VP, Sr. Service Delivery Consultant at Bank of America
Greater Philadelphia Area
I am an abstract thinker. I'm energetic, thorough and driven and I'm as comfortable defining strategy as I am taking a strategy to implementation.
My experience has taught me to value the "business value" of Information Technology. Some thrive in working in IT for IT's sake, I work in IT for the business' sake and no matter what role I'm in I am committed to understanding the needs of the business.
Roles I've held:
- Technology Risk Manager
- Project Management Practices Manager
- Chief Strategist
- Service Delivery Manager
- Service Delivery Consultant
- Technology Project Manager
- Systems Architect
- Systems Engineer
Largest Responsibilities:
- Technology and End-to-End Process Risk Manager for Consumer Small Business Banking Technology & Operations, a Major Division of Bank of America consisting of more than 17,000 associates who provide end-to-end operations support to 56 million consumer and small business relationships, 5,700 retail banking offices and more than 20,000 ATMs
- Service Delivery Manager for ImageMark, an environment responsible for 2BB in transactions/year.
- Service Delivery Manager for Deposit Automation Process (DAP) which had an online storage need of more than 8 TB in production and an average monthly operating cost of $750,000.00 per month.
