Managing large Information Technology (IT) organizations requires a unique blend of expertise in strategic planning, process development and leadership, combined with in depth technical knowledge and experience. I have delivered large technology projects on schedule and on budget in alignment with my organization’s business strategies.

28 years of related IT experience and continuing education through workshops and hands-on Network Administration, Operating Systems and Server Administration. (voIP, Cisco, Extreme, Vm Ware, Email, Web, Database, Engineering software, Microsoft products, Medical community specific software) as well as managing both systems and support personal.

Most recently I have been a manager level professional with notable success in directing a broad range of corporate Information Technology (IT) initiatives while providing insightful leadership in strategic planning, analyzing, problem solving and implementation of solutions supporting corporate objectives. Provided and conducted ongoing training, a growing policy and procedure database, internal consulting as well as IT audits to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the Information Technology Infrastructure by applying general industry compliance controls.


about

I specialize in building, maintaining, managing and growing these areas: Problem Solving, Project Management, Installations & Cut-Overs, Software upgrades, Network Administration, Operating systems, Server Administration, Security, Telecommunications, Data Centers, Data Center moves, Cabling, Fiber Optics, Data Storage, Disaster Recovery and Change Management as well as managing second level support personal.

To enhance our department’s service to the company I installed a Change Management solution to simplify and automate IT change control. Designed with the ITIL best practices framework and workflow automation it ensures that any change introduced into the IT infrastructure follows a regulated process; this prevents unauthorized change, eliminates the potential for system downtime andensures regulatory compliance. I then provided training and technical resources to all three divisions of IT to educate and guide them through change management procedures. The benefits were almost immediately realized in less equipment and software downtime. In general a happier organization.
