Success story
I have successfully transformed numerous technology organizations that were struggling, wasteful in both headcount and non-labor and capex expenditures, and were still operating in a legacy manner. My strengths are in modernizing, optimizing, strengthening, turning around and making transparent to the C-suite the organizations under my leadership. Time and time again I have received incredible feedback about my emotional IQ, approachability, coaching and mentorship and for building mutual trust.
