Tinae Vee Turcotte’s Summary

Having nearly 15 years of experience in the Information Technology (IT) field and over 7 years as a project manager, my career has provided me numerous opportunities to analyze, direct and apply technology in unique and creative ways. The results have provided effective system solutions in resolving difficult and challenging situations.

My vast knowledge in the IT industry and strong technical background, along with the key leadership skills, has given me the ability to create programs that deliver results. In various roles at Hewlett Packard, I provided Global Marketing technology vision, architectural expertise and long range planning in the areas of SAP PLM, MM, OM, Enterprise Portal, Content Management and Oracle development and deployment. So I thoroughly understand what is required to meet
customer demand and the importance of providing and ensuring high quality service and solutions.

My career has allowed me to take on key responsibilities for new technology, application development, technical services, data administration and security. Equally as strong is my experience and knowledge in database administration, content management and supply chain applications. I enjoy the strategic and tactical nature of the role and the analysis involved to correctly identify the direction of technology and its application to a business.
