CAREER OBJECTIVE
I am a seasoned IT Manager with 25 years of experience in the IT field. I have a track record of building successful teams through making good hiring decisions, mentoring individuals, leveraging their strengths and mitigating their weaknesses. I quickly grasp business processes across multiple IT platforms, business functions and industries. I can perform multiple roles at multiple levels, if necessary, to make my Team successful and I foster the same attitude in the organizations I manage or work under. I excel at coherently explaining technical concepts and their relevancy to non- technical people. My technical disciplines, functional disciplines and dedication to the business and my Team are number one. My track record of success makes me a valued resource among my subordinates, peers and superiors. I have achieved many accomplishments within my positions. I have, "with help" achieved many ways to enable the user to work more efficiently in their day-to-day activities. I really enjoy helping people and enabling them to help themselves where possible.
