Bio

Professionally, I think of my IT career spanning 20+ years organized into three chapters. The first eight years as an IT management consultant and then 13 years of project and program management followed by two years of Sales. Early in my career, one of my goals was to develop skills in IT infrastructure as part of a high performing consulting team. I was fortunate enough to land that opportunity within Accenture as part of their Infrastructure Strategy consulting team. An example -- I led a team to successfully migrate applications and servers from a datacenter at a Healthcare client in Albuquerque, NM. This project enabled the client to reduce facility expenses. That served as a really great on ramp to the next chapter of my career which is focused on project and program management at Ally (formerly GMAC). My goal going to Ally was to bring my skills from Accenture to Ally to help them with their transformation needs. I first got to do that as part of the ResCap Integration program where I realized $93M in savings. I moved onto my next role where I was the PMO lead for a large infrastructure outsourcing program. Then I led a cross functional Ally team to work with a large systems integrator to transition IT operations. I went through another transition, I wanted to help other business areas in need of improvement. So that was one of the motivations, the other was that I wanted to learn a new technologies and have responsibility for the decisions for a functional area. I took the role of Vice President of Sales. The goal during this chapter of my career was to focus on developing my skills and meeting new people to understand their challenges and define how Tech Mahindra can help solve those challenges. I brought in our Network Services team to transform the Network at a large tier 1 automotive supplier. Most recently I led our team through an RFS engagement for a large tier 1 automotive supplier for Data Center Hosting Services. This will help the client to modernize and optimize their Data Center Hosting capabilities.
