Professional Resume
During my career, I have held increasingly complex and global pioneering leadership and consulting positions, spanning 7 domains. I led global virtual teams and worked with colleagues all over the world to build Project Management Offices (PMOs) to transform business as usual. I consulted and built innovative solutions (services, programs, processes, technologies) to meet the new needs of customers and employees. Going to market in new ways is a through-line in my body of work.
