I work with commercial clients in a variety of manufacturing, distribution, and service industries on strategic technology projects, such as overall assessment, multiyear planning, sourcing, implementation advisory, and mergers and acquisitions. I've been fortunate to advise startups through multinational, public enterprises and serve client executives and teams in achieving their goals.
The changing trends, best practices, suppliers, and opportunities in enterprise IT makes being a trusted advisor an interesting and enjoyable role to play. Like all functions, enterprise IT is effective and valuable as a result of making informed decisions, both strategic and tactical, which is the mission of my work. If asked what they appreciate about working with me, I believe most clients would say my practicality, analytical approach, and ability to bridge technical and business goals.
I have a B.A. in finance with a specialization in information technology from Michigan State University, and an M.S. in information systems from Northwestern University. In addition, I’m a Certified Project Management Professional through the Project Management Institute.
Outside of work, I enjoy being humbled on the golf course or tennis court, doing volunteer work in Chicago, networking, and travel.
