Summary
Relevance is crucial in today's ever-changing technology environments; both today and future. It
requires expertise in understanding how total systems work - hardware, software and workflow. It
requires an unwavering focus to drive creative solutions and address speed, efficiency, redundancy, and
cost savings. It also calls for the ability to communicate effectively at all levels, to manage around road-
blocks, and to lead to completion in a timely and cost-effective manner. My career experience has
afforded me this expertise with a unique combination of technical proficiency and hands-on project
leadership from concept to design, through integration, providing forward support, and positioning for
next-generation capabilities. I am passionate about implementing technology, solutions and programs
that improve, streamline, simplify, and restructure for competitiveness, strength, significance and
impact.
