I have spent the better part of my career as a champion and driver for process improvement to increase organizational efficiency.  I am notably skilled at crafting a vision, communicating it and executing it to a successful completion.  A very quick study, I can teach concepts to all levels of an organization. 

Most recently I was brought in to an engineering organization to assist with creating and driving processes that would facilitate increasing the efficiency in engineering operations. I was then introduced to Scrum because the organization was ‘researching the possibility’ of moving from a very loose ‘modified spiral’ process into the light, repeatable and dependable structure of Scrum.  I was sent for training, became certified as a Scrum Master and began to lead the grassroots effort to bring Scrum into engineering.  Upon completion of the course I came back, crafted a timeline, developed a training experience for the roles of Scrum Master and ‘Team’ and delivered a series of communication sessions, trainings and simulations for the entire engineering department, CM and other associated organizations.  All with a team consisting of the Lead Program Engineer,  a Principle Engineer and another Design Lead. 

Today I would say I'm the resident Agilista and am working on developing a ‘custom adapted’ Product Owner training for my company’s specific Government business operations.  In addition to my work in process improvement, I am also a certified trainer/consultant in the area of conflict resolution and workplace mediation.  I believe my aptitude in these areas has contributed greatly to my success in leading grassroots efforts like the company-wide implementation of Scrum and other business initiatives.
