Versatile tech & business professional, data- and progress-driven

GENERAL What could you and your team accomplish through a partnership with a business professional who demonstrates broad and deep tech experience, combined with impactful communication and strong interpersonal skills? Realization of your projects’ goals on time and with the quality you need is important to your team’s success. You need a seasoned partner: > with years of experience with the most-used tools: * Windows * Outlook * Word * Excel * PowerPoint * Office 365 * Microsoft Project > whose interpersonal skills are supported by training in: * Active Listening * Team leadership * Networking > who excels at follow-up and follow-through > with real world, hands-on experience in: * Written communication * Project management * Retail operations * Workforce management / scheduling * Customer information systems * Anti-money laundering * Software requirements definition * Software package evaluation, acquisition, conversion and installation * Data modeling and logical database design * Software application development > who has worked in environments as diverse as: * Technology * Banking * Utilities * Manufacturing *Business consulting The following sections highlight areas in which my endeavors have been focused. MICROSOFT OFFICE SUITE TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND CONSULTING Years of experience with all the components of the Microsoft Office suite has prepared me address many of the problems you may be facing, both large and small. In particular, spreadsheets frequently are essential to reaching conclusions on business conditions and developing plans either to exploit or cope with them. The challenge often is that these tools require complex formulas and in-app analytical tools. My detailed, data-driven approach will develop, debug and/or describe the contents of your spreadsheet data. WRITING / EDITING / PROOFREADING Your discerning customers likely are distracted (and frustrated) by copy that is quickly identifiable as having been written by a non-native or unskilled English speaker. My promise is to provide results that display high-quality grammar/syntax, readability, brevity and “on message” content. Your customers will appreciate the benefits of copy that allows them to concentrate on the content of your message, not its defects. Business people often need refinements to documents, usually regarding organization and readability. Some other requests are for corrections to grammar and spelling. Microsoft Word is a powerful tool for producing quality documents. I have years of experience preparing and correcting Word documents of all sizes and complexities. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Effective project management is as much an art as it is a science. The PMP (Project Management Professional) certification indicates that the holder has a comprehensive knowledge of techniques essential for effective management of all types of projects in all varieties of industries. That certification is the “science” side of my project management expertise. The “art” side of what I bring to the table is the decades of hands-on work on IT projects. IT projects frequently encounter challenges unique to the industry. My experience allows your project to be planned efficiently, monitored continuously and executed effectively. When challenges – or opportunities - arise, you’ll need proven solutions to mitigate the problems or exploit the opportunities. Please note: My PMP certification has expired, but only because I have not functioned as an active project manager for the time period required for renewal. GENERAL BUSINESS CONSULTING Diagnostic business process analysis can provide your team with focused, practical recommendations for improvement in achieving your tactical objectives and strategic goals. In such cases, you will benefit from a partner with a wide range of similar assignments across a variety of industries. Together, we can incorporate your detailed knowledge of the particular business with my broad education and experience in general business analysis to effect positive change in your organization. MY MOTTO “Keeping busy is not the same as making progress.”
