Project Management 80%About me
I have over 25 years of project and account management experience, primarily in the information technology and telecommunications industries.
Throughout my career I've emphasized timely and transparent communication through effective management consultation.
I've lead a variety of technology implementation initiatives, with a focus on long-term value among stakeholders.
I believe in 'paying it forward', having served as a part-time instructor in Mount Royal University's Project Management Certificate Program and, currently, as a volunteer football coach for my local varsity high-school.
