Business/IT Leader and Systems Architect
Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area
I am seasoned business professional with outstanding experience and a track record of success as a hands-on leader and systems architect. In both management and consulting roles I have enhanced the efficiency of business processes through the introduction or modernization of technology.
I have a unique combination of attributes that allow me to be equally comfortable in a meeting with a board of directors, potential client or a team of programmers. This ability stems from my dichotomous double major in computer studies and political science from Northwestern University and has continued to evolve over my 20+ years adapting to a variety of organizations and creating solutions from a number of perspectives.
• From a technical perspective I have designed, developed and supported enterprise-wide and web-based applications for a mixture of industries using an array of technologies which have exceeded both short and long-term needs and expectations.
• From a business development perspective, I have performed pre and post-sales support for software products, marketed consulting services as well as developed marketing plans for client companies.
• From a project management perspective, I have led projects with budgets over $10 million and financial implications of over $100 million with an eye on the delicate balance between results and budget concerns.
• From a team management perspective, I have build and led groups of internal and external resources with technical and non-technical backgrounds in systems development and implementation, financial and market analysis and execution of completely new business models.
• And finally from a corporate management perspective, I have served on senior corporate management teams responsible for corporate strategy, budgeting, and interdepartmental coordination.
My main goal is to be an integral contributor in raising a results-oriented organization to the next level.
