Personal Value:
Over the last few years, I have greatly increased my skill set, capabilities and
understanding of my craft. Since
2006, I have upgraded my MCSE NT4 to MCSE 2003, obtained ITIL V3 foundation
certification and a Masters of Science, information Science.

Upgrading the
Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer from NT4 to 2003 may not seem
impressive at first glance; however I did not do the upgrade test. I took all seven tests individually. I did this for two reasons. First I felt I could take my time and
learn more about each part if I took and focused on one part at a time. In addition taking each test
individually would give me the option to return to teaching as a Microsoft
Certified Trainer.
-
I often run international projects.
The
ITIL V3 certification helps me to standardize my teams operations with other
teams across the world.
-
In 2010, I graduated with a Masters of Science, Information Science program at
Penn State University with a GPA of 3.82. I was able to hone my communications, development,
management and security skills.

Innovation:

Since taking over the IT Operations Team at INCR, my team has pushed VMWare
Virtualization to impressive limits.
We now have 80% of the servers virtualized creating excellent business value,
disaster recovery and a completive advantage over other CROs. This VMWare deployment created a
complete ROI in less than a year and has saved over 3 million dollars in TCO.
Results:
-
At INCR, I have lead the information technology integrations for three company
acquisitions. In 2006, INCR acquired
Pharmaceutical Resource Corporation (PRC).
As the Manager of IT for PRC I developed and deployed the integration
plan to merge PRC into INCR. As a
Director at INCR I created and deployed the strategy to integrate Advanced
Biologics into INCR. Recently INCR
acquired the clinical research division of MDS.
This gave me the opportunity to lead a very technically challenging
international integration. My team
successfully integrated offices from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Beijing, China.
