"Over two decades of experience in the design, implementation and management of Information Technology enable me to channel my seasoned analytical skills into breaking down problems into their essential elements—and building up teams that can develop great solutions."
"The constant pace of change in the industry is stimulating and sometimes frustrating. Once you’ve developed a solid command of a particular strategy or technology, a new challenge always arises that requires you to learn a new set of tricks."
"Working through problems with a whiteboard, clients and colleagues is one of my favorites ways to shake out solutions. And the best way to craft a solid solution is to develop an accurate problem statement."
