I have paid close attention to my performance as a manager and care about the careers of my team as well as their contribution to the company. I am a capable hands-on technical resource, IT visionary, and a proven leader capable of enabling an IT team to great accomplishments and successful careers. I absolutely love leading a team of IT people to success - nothing gets me out of bed and excited for the day than helping my team to achieve our goals. IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT I have experience leading teams to success with enterprise systems and applications. I have experience implementing and supporting social collaboration platforms (Jive, SharePoint), CRM systems (Salesforce), as well as financial systems (Softrax, Intacct).
