Resume - Clarity



I have helped 133 clients in a dozen industries exceed expectations! Since 1998 I have focused on "Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)" strategies to deliver enhanced management effectiveness, efficiency & value. My "Enterprise Investment Optimization (EIO)" practice expands these techniques to encompass the entire organization's investment strategy. My "Performance Management" practice leverages advanced strategies, tactics, methods & technologies to enhance delivered effectiveness & efficiency. My "Independent Project Risk Assessment (IPRA)" practice identifies & mitigates "troubled project" management weaknesses. I served as an Expert Witness on 16 class action, service contract, trade secret & Federal ligations.

In addition to my Graduate Studies in Program/Project Management, I completed formal Program Management Office (PMO) & PPM classes while a KPMG Risk Manager. I have PMO experience at major international commercial clients including: Verizon Wireless Little Rock, ING Bank Amsterdam, Fortis Bank Brussels, Topdanmark Insurance Copenhagen, and PriceWaterhouseCoopers Toronto. Domestic PMO clients include TIAA-CREF Retirement NYC, Credit Suisse NYC, Bank of America Atlanta, Ally Financial Charlotte, American Micros Devices Austin, Charter St. Louis, Hospira Lake Forest, DirecTV LA, and Xerox Global Services PA. US Federal Government clients include: Naval Supply Systems Command, Defense Logistics Agency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp & Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FAA, NASA, NIST, HSS, GSA & Agriculture.

I specialize in architecting & implementing PPM Solutions to increase Return On Investment (ROI), minimize risk & enhance governance effectiveness & regulatory compliance. Since 2002 I have completed 33 PMO/PPM engagements (see "" below) in support of major clients using the CA Clarity PPM product family - 9 as a subcontractor to CA Technologies Services. I am fully experienced with all technical, functional, enterprise integration & solution strategy aspects of CA Clarity PPM. I am Secretary of the CA Clarity Global Users Community.

As a manager in KPMG's Global Business Risk & Continuity Planning Practice, I helped Cisco Systems, Macromedia, Guess, Inc. & Superior National Insurance Group assess global risks, develop business contingency plans and deploy profitable risk mitigation strategies.

I earned a Master of Science in Management (equivalent to an MBA) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's (RPI's) Lally School of Management and Technology. In a cooperative program with the Albany Medical College, I worked towards a PhD (incomplete) in Health Care Delivery Information Systems, which I later deployed as Director, Product Management at Wellmark. I was a co-operative education student at IBM while I received a BS & MS in Electrical Engineering in computer systems design from RPI.
