A proven, strategic leader with extensive experience in delivering Big Data programs to power Digital Transformation efforts. I come with fantastic references (and several innovation awards) from 25 years of partnering with CxOs and thought leaders to define and align Big Data strategies and roadmaps. I’m drawn to BIG, BOLD transformation efforts… where vision and inspiration are crucial to delivering new, extraordinary capabilities. My leadership style is very no-nonsense, down-to-earth, “win together”… and I’m equally comfortable presenting in the boardroom or “getting my hands dirty with the data”. I have a broad network of top talent mentored over the years, and together we have delighted our business partners with some amazing, innovative solutions. Here are some highlights of my recent work: --Delivered rapid transformation of Data and Analytics platforms (new EDW solution in 6 months) --Role expanded to lead Corporate Strategic Planning efforts, and new Innovation teams --Versatility to Lead Digital Transformations program beyond Big Data. Recently tapped to take over and "rescue" a complex modernization program struggling to gain momentum within our Loan Originations area. Successfully launched our first Azure cloud, custom-built, "mobile-first" designed Loan Application solution. Delivered within 5 months after the program spun for over 2 years, as the team overcame departures of prior App Dev VP and Chief Architect, and launched during new COVID work from home mandates. --Founded boutique consulting company providing large-scale Data Warehouse design and accelerated delivery services for the Fortune 500.
