Daniel Smith (dps@danielpsmith.com)’s Summary

I am actively seeking a challenging career developing and re-engineering business processes as a Senior IT Analyst/Strategist. My strong background includes product management and business development skills.

I have proven my ability in major markets including Denver, Chicago, Dallas and Oklahoma City with public and private companies including Home Depot, Sports Authority, ProLogis, Pulte Homes, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Coors Brewing, Colorado Farm Bureau, and Methodist Health System – Dallas.

As a trainer, I have been very successful in the process of communicating difficult subjects and concepts in a way that is tailored to the group at hand. As a designer, I can often visualize and compose entire projects from end to end when others on the team are still seeing pieces on the table.
