About me

Having thoughtfully progressed thru most functions within the IT field, I have a deep appreciation on how agile delivers solutions that are easy to use, secure, scalable, and resilient. This has been accomplished by aligning group’s functions and directions with business and organizational goals. Servant leadership is a cornerstone to the approach - coaching, mentoring, giving control to the team leads to faster outcomes.

At times I've been a people leader, others an individual contributor. My passion for learning has to many IT opportunities such development, product management, infrastructure engineering, collaboration solutions and IT support. The most memorable accomplishments are seeing how the technology weaves into the business processes to delivery effective customer experiences.

Partnering with business on developing long term strategies
Growing the next generation of talent

Data driven decision making
Financial management of resources, budgets, and programs
Information security management to meet compliance and regulatory requirements
