I am a results driven IT professional experienced in various business environments and technologies. Working exclusively in IT I have steadily progressed to my current level of managing and directing all aspects of the IT department. I have several strengths which enable me to be highly successful. I have to be able to communicate with a wide range of people from executive level to first level, highly technical to the technically challenged. I am able to drive improvements in existing processes, sometimes incrementally and sometimes acute, by understanding the business needs and delivering a cost effective solution that is easy to understand and maintain. I have managed diverse teams with both on site and remote personnel, employees and outside consultants, working on the same projects or inter-related projects. One of the keys to success I believe is very open communication that shares knowledge and enables us to work through issues as a team. I have a track record providing leadership and development that fosters growth of the team that is able to resolve conflicts.
