I am a Business-Technology Program Manager with 22 years of experience (including Dir of PMO), numerous certifications (including PMP), and 5 degrees (including MBA & MS-Project Management). I have cunningly crafted my consulting career bypassing most of the national firms. While my experience is not branded under a Big-4, the experience is nonetheless on par (i.e., consulting = I solve problems). Most of the big firms follow a 'sell-deliver' model. I prefer to focus on just the 'deliver' model. Experienced recruiters will easily see tenacious career growth, and the leadership skills needed at the director/executive level of PMO/Program Management, and a candidate who refuses to adhere to a career 'caste' system. My resume culminates in a perfect storm of executive leadership skills spanning the ecosystem of People, Processes, and Technology. While diverse in my experience, you'll see a strong central themes of Organizational Change Management and Process Leadership. Practice areas: ● Director, Projects/Program Organization (PMO) ● Enterprise Program Management (including ERP, HCM, HRIS) ● Technology Adoption ● Organizational Change Management Education: ✔ Masters of Business Administration (MBA) ✔ Masters of Human Resource Management (MsHR) ✔ Masters of Project Management (MPM) ✔ BS Information Technology ✔ BS Workforce Development & Education Certification: ✔ Project Management Professional (PMP) ✔ Organization Change Management (OCM) ✔ SPHR ✔ Agile - Certified Scrum Master (CSM) ✔ Agile - Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) ✔ ITILv3 Foundations ✔ CMMi Dev & Svc ✔ SharePoint Power User & Designer
