A seasoned senior executive with operations leadership and program management experience in the military sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for finding optimal operational and organizational solutions to complex issues, as well as for implementing innovative strategies to achieve organizational objectives and mentoring and managing inspiring and talented teams, I have a history of contributing to company success throughout my career. Professional focal points include program management, project management, process optimization, technology solutions, cross-functional team leadership, military training, military operations, business analysis, strategy implementation, research, and risk mitigation. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, as well as business acumen, technical expertise, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Most recently, I was the Deputy Director of the CBRNE Center of Excellence with the U.S. Army North. Under my leadership, I oversaw all aspects of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive Material (CBRNE) matter and support for Army and land component operations. I also played a key role in the successful execution of major events, including Super Bowl XLI and the 2017 Presidential Inauguration. In addition, I liaised with senior leadership, CBRNE officials, and military personnel to ensure the organization’s defense support structure was driving the business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, program management and leadership expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
