Career

I am an innovative, results oriented business professional with 15+ years of progressive career advancement driven by creating success for my employers, clients and partners. I am a PMI/PMP certified project manager who is consistently called upon to fix ‘troubled’ or challenging projects. As an experienced program and project manager I have proven my ability to drive achievement through excellent communication, process innovation and a business value approach to technology consulting.

Talented at mastering new technologies, industries and corporate environments I have demonstrable success with over 100 clients. With extensive international consulting and overseas outsourcing experience, I effectively communicate across cultural and geographic boundaries and work effectively in a variety of corporate cultures and structures. I am a highly energetic and motivated individual with the ability to balance many responsibilities under pressure while being driven to succeed with a focus on corporate values and ethical business practices. With extensive time spent in front of corporate executives, I am poised and confident with the demonstrated ability to influence business leaders, technology teams and line of business management both individually and in large presentation environments.

I am a highly detailed and disciplined project manager who believes that two key components drive project success: Communications and Process. I continually strive to insure effective and productive communications is maintained with all project stakeholders throughout the project; believing that lack of attention to this element causes 80% of project failures. Furthermore, I have demonstrated throughout my career that the stringent application of quality project management acumen is a critical factor to project success. To this end, I have striven to apply industry best practices such as PMI, corporate PMO policies and good general business sense to all my engagements and have been responsible for defining and implementing PM methodologies at several organizations.

  1. I am in awe of your profile and need a template to create something that awesome. Your profile is so well put together and thanks for the advice. I recently completed my PMP and in the workforce after being home 2 years raising 2 babies. Any really good advice for me? I am an experienced project manager in Telecom and also non-profit projects and assisted my husband with a business startup.

    I have a blog setup with google it is millionaire mag but still learning what to do and how to do it.

  2. Mike, I couldn’t believe you are an individual who loves God openly and explicitly. God has been kind to you. I am still learning to take God’s challenges positively. I am glad the bible verses you referred to I am familiar with them.

    I need to understand God’s direction better.

    • Daisy, Thank you for your kind comments. The greatest secret to understanding God’s plans is to spend time with him. Set aside time every day to read your bible with an open heart and mind and meditate upon His word. Pray for Wisdom and understanding and it will come. This is one prayer that is always answered if it is made earnestly.

      God Bless,
      - Michael
