Questions & Answers
What are my most important business goals?
Being dedicated, exceeding expectations, and driving for success
What are my strongest attributes?
Analytical approach to achieving company & customer goals. Operational Excellence, identifying and implementing cost reduction programs; improving team efficiency & productivity; people skills
Why are my methods, processes, & procedures best in class?
I approach every effort (project, program and task) with the same philosophy; I identify & evaluate resource availability, customer or project requirements, and risk before proceeding any task. Major projects are handled utilizing Agile or traditional waterfall methods.
Is customer engagement important in a technical position?
Yes, I have been personally involved in technical and non-technical Tier 1 (Fortune 50 & 100) customer engagements resulting in increased business & revenue. Understanding the customers' needs and implementation requirements is paramount to successfully completing every project.
Why do projects & programs fail?
The majority of projects and programs fail because the goals are misunderstood, the project time line or resource requirements are not properly scoped, the impact of competing technology is not known, or risk is not properly assessed prior to the start.
