Professional Summary

All the things I am I acquired from others…and yet, I don’t consider myself a thief. I am an experienced portfolio manager who has can communicate effectively to subordinates and executives.As a member of the Project Management Institute who upholds PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, I have consistently achieved quality outcomes as a project manager with 23 years of extensive international experience working in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, and the Ukraine.The following descriptors have been applied to me by my peers: analytical, articulate, creative, customer-focused, fiscally responsible, humanitarian, organized, passionate, personable, proactive, and resourceful.

Core Qualifications

I first became accustomed to heavy work as a teenager while working on a ranch, stacking lumber at a mill, and spray painting furniture in a factory. I learned to be adaptable, pay attention to details, and produce results.These abilities were rewarded with greater responsibility and higher pay. At the age of 17, I became a night supervisor motivating a two-person team to generate an equivalent production of the six-person day shift. To accomplish this, I changed established procedures, accepting attendant risks.Such experiences provided the DNA for later professional competencies resulting in my results-oriented work ethic. One colleague recently told me, "I do not know of anyone anywhere who can do more with efficiency than you."My experience supervising graduate students helped me become a leader who can determine capability, delegate authority, and expect accountability,My strong writing and verbal skills have resulted in 7 books published in Urdu, a doctoral dissertation, 109 published magazine and newsletter articles. During the past ten years I generated proposals resulting in 8.2 million dollars of funding for 18 projects.

Experience

Owner, Masterpiece Finish Company, Greater Seattle, Washington, 2011

Vice president, Medical Trust of Seventh-day Adventists, India, 2006 – 2010I relish team-building. While collaborating with other senior managers as an international hospital systems vice president, I demonstrated ability to recruit, develop, and manage a team of 21 salaried and 93 unsalaried health professionals who wrote curricula in 9 languages, trained teachers, supervised instruction, raised funds, and evaluated the results of a public health project. I was able to effectively implement this national health project by motivating CEOs in ten hospitals to develop training center networks, where 3,700 volunteers were trained as "first responders." My staff included physicians, nurses, public health professionals, teachers, and administrators. While they were not unionized, this country expected staff to be given lifetime employment. To mitigate the risk of employees having a laissez faire attitude towards this project, I prayerfully inspired my team through persuasive, communication to participate in this humanitarian project. I have discovered that my natural industrious, problem-solving ability may not always provide adequate solutions without factoring multi-national and multi-cultural issues into the management equation.

Country Director, Adventist Development and Relief Agency, Pakistan, 2005I earned a reputation as an innovator during the Kashmir earthquake crisis in Pakistan. I was called to serve as an emergency country director of ADRA. In two months, 2.3 million dollars were raised and disbursed by my team for the relief effort resulting in the “Star of Service” award given by then president Pervaiz Musharraf.An issue surfaced requiring alternatives analysis. I persuaded the Taliban terrorists who tried to blackmail my NGO and threaten my workers that it would be in their best interest to let us accomplish our task without their collaboration. Of course they offered a great deal of money and perks had we been willing to comply. Unfortunately, one of my managers had naively initiated contact with the so-called “collaborators” in order to “stretch” our budget. I transferred him to another international assignment in a less volatile arena. In the end, the Pakistan Times published news about a world-famous agency which spent 53 million dollars to accomplish similar results which my NGO achieved by spending 2.3 million dollars.

Program Director, Northern-Asia Pacific Division of SDA, Korea, 2001 - 2005

My team of 6 project managers successfully managed 17 projects on schedule within 5% of the budget at completion at an acceptable level of quality.

Such outcomes required me to develop my team through interpersonal skills, performance-driven training, team building activities, co-location, establishing ground rules, recognition and rewards.

I managed my team through observation and conversation, project performance appraisals, conflict management, issue logs, and communication techniques.

The project names were:

Go One Million in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Taiwan;

Sow One Billion in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Taiwan;

Festival of the Laity, Jeju Island, Korea;
