• My last 2.8 years was an attempt at early retirement that gave me time to reflect on what I enjoy doing and where I add value. Although I’ve been a hands on Director, it is the hands on portion that I love. I enjoy learning about and improving business operations. Mapping the business to Oracle EBS is my expertise. Oracle has only released dot releases during this time and the changes are minor according to my friends who are using the current release.
• Plan to travel 100% on weekdays and home on weekends. Understand there will be times I need to work weekends for the project. My work schedule is flexible.
