Vision:

Today's businesses need Human Assets who can talk about strategy and technology in the same conversation, and a unified approach based on a formal IT strategy that is in line with the organizational mission, business goals and key processes. This demands development of the enterprise frameworks, applications, and solutions that ensure rationalization of the existing IT infrastructure to deliver maximum value, as well as provide for growth potential.

My cross-industry career experiences will enable your organization to craft a technology vision, and then provide a specific, practical business and technology framework that will make that vision a reality. Bringing competencies spread across a long history of professional excellence, process quality, and technology performance, as well as a C- Level to Ground-Level perspective, I hope to enhance your overall corporate strategy and goals.
