30 Years as an Information Technologist
I have been a critical team member across many industries implementing strategic solutions for commercial software development, business intelligence, data governance, and finance/accounting reporting. I've acquired skills in core technologies and best practices that streamline processes, improve data accuracy, and enhance decision-making capabilities for organizations through implementing robust data governance frameworks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and driving a single version of the truth for management. Prior to starting a boutique consulting company, I managed mission critical back office infrastructure, providing high availability and disaster/recovery for business continuity.
