I am an experienced technology professional with a demonstrated history of increased responsibility, promotion, and success. I have deep experience in the full technology stack, strong vision, innovation, and leadership skills, and 25+ years as the top technology professional in the company. Proficient in project management, driving results, and contributing to organizational success through technology and business alignment. I believe a company that doesn't commit to
technology as a critical line of business is losing an opportunity to differentiate. I feel it is imperative to stay on top of the newest technology trends to understand when technology should be adopted or implemented to benefit the organization.

I have keen insight to differentiate between trendy technology with little value and technology with weight and staying power. This allows me to work with lines of business to identify when technology solutions should be applied for maximum positive impact on the company. One of my most fulfilling professional pursuits is managing a team of people to achieve organizational and individual personal goals. I believe investing in others is the most important thing we do in both our professional and personal lives and human capital is the most valuable part of an organization.
