Senior Technology & Operations ExecutiveIT | Product Development | Software Engineering | ServicesHaving advanced through the ranks at Dell Corporation, over a 14 year period, I've had the good fortune to be exposed to the most complex and cutting-edge products, services and platforms in the technology industry. In fast-moving business environments, I've quickly ramped up to assume new challenges and manage constantly changing priorities in a large multinational organization characterized by constant reorganization and reinvention. As a Captain in the Air Force, I developed solid leadership skills that have enabled me to identify top talent and facilitate coherence and high productivity of multifunctional teams across virtual and culturally diverse global geographies. My technology experience spans the entire IT function, with a solid base in software engineering, complemented by product development, IT operations and professional services. This broad and deep exposure has enabled me to take a holistic view of IT's role in delivering solutions to improve business efficiencies, while accelerating speed to market and cutting costs to accelerate top and bottom line improvement in an era of shrinking resources.Growing up overseas, I cultivated a global mindset at an early age, and this multicultural perspective, coupled with keen sensitivity, has been at the core of my ability to gain consensus and foster multicultural cooperation, leading to successful global initiatives and international expansion. At the heart of my experience are three strengths: integrity, passion for excellence and commitment to serving the customer. These core strengths provide the passion and inspiration to continually strive to raise the bar and maintain rigorous quality standards, leading to significant achievements that delivered IT world-class solutions and saved millions of dollars through cost efficiencies and service excellence.Specialties: • IT Management• Global & Cross-functional Team Leadership • Infrastructure/IS• Application Design, Development, Delivery, Internal, Outsourced, Offshore• Product Development• R&D Testing, Quality - ITIL; CMMi (Level 5)• Business Unit Management: P&L ($600M)• Change Management: Re-engineering; Cost Reduction; Process Improvement• Software Engineering: Off-the-shelf and Custom Software Development (Java/.Net/Legacy)• Mobility; Cloud Migration; Enterprise Integration; ERP; CRM
