Accomplished IT strategist and lecturer who has developed a unique approach to aligning business and IT strategies. By integrating application, product, and platform strategies into a single framework I have increased organizational alignment, reduced both capital and operational expenses, and helped foster much needed collaboration across multiple lines of business. To create better oversight of company's application and technology portfolio I also have developed and successfully implemented a unique approach to integrating enterprise architecture and ITSM practices, combining change management and application portfolio management practices to help create and maintain strategic and operational alignment across the enterprise.
Aligned organization to a capability based, product oriented approach to delivering IT services. Introduced new enterprise architecture roles and ITSM processes to centralize the managment of the organizations technology and application portfolios, driving down costs by over $15 million in the first two years of the program.

Aligned IT organization to a capability based, product oriented application strategy which resulted in the identification and consolidation of redudant functions across the enterprise. Introduced SAFe framework and helped integrate the product management, application development, and architecture practices at the company.
Established governane processes (Technology Acquistion Process (TAP) and architecture review board) to control IT costs by limiting the introduction of new technology products and reducing the creation of redundant applicaions across the enterprise.
