Agile product development demands
an individual whose unique skillset and diverse expertise allows for a seamless
transition into the fast-paced, demanding, and dynamic environment that is
SCRUM. For nearly 7 years, I served as Chief Technology Officer and acting
Chief Operations Officer for an investment firm, where my responsibilities
comprised technology issues, human relations, budgeting, SEC compliance, and
facilities management. My proven ability to exceed expectations derives from a
management style developed over 20 plus years that allows for individuals to be
actively engaged in their careers and overwhelming invested in the success of
the organization.
My J.D., coupled with my B.S. and
years of business experience, defines me as a person who can organize people
and technologies so that problems are not only avoided, but eliminated. Such an
approach allows for meaningful improvement rather than mere maintenance. Later, when I was awarded a
technology patent while at my most current job, I reaffirmed the advantages
that expertise in both arenas provides.
Some people describe themselves in terms of a singular
perspective; I describe myself as someone with multiple perspectives who can
problem solve. In my twenties, I took a leave of absence from work, and
bicycled solo around the world. It was by far the best preparation for knowing
how to deal with change, with people, and with those things that at first blush
appear beyond our control. I convey to my co-workers that they can trust me,
and in turn, I have won their respect and dedication. Given what is at stake in
the federal court system, I know that my skills and experience would mean
nothing without my ability to work with people at all levels. I take pride in
knowing that I can work with anyone, and bring people together in a way that
many envision but few realize.
