With more than 20 years of experience planning and leading Telecommunications initiatives, I understand the need to establish expectations and improve processes in rapidly-changing technical environments. I have created and led top performing teams that consistently meet or exceed project needs and expectations. As a Project Management Professional, I excel in organizing projects and delivering value in time- and data-sensitive situations.Currently, I am Director of Operations for RTS Associates, LLC, providing innovative design, database management, contract staffing and turnkey solutions to the Southeastern telecommunications utility market. I lead our efforts to manage database and design groups working with multiple telecom companies. In addition to directing our team, I implement new processes to reduce customer product turnaround time, bring outstanding Accounts Receivable to date and improve revenue. I also lead the initiative to consolidate tracking systems, which reduced administration time and specializations while also increasing financial projection accuracy. I joined the company as a Loop Electronics Inventory Specialist in and demonstrated my leadership, resulting in promotions to several Project Manager positions. In each role, I implemented best practices, trained teams, managed scheduling and ensured operational efficiency, while managing within budget and on tight timelines. Previously, I was Telecommunications Center Supervisor in the United States Army Signal Corps.Throughout my career, I have applied my leadership skills and industry knowledge to lead teams to successful completion of assigned projects. I welcome the opportunity to network with others in the field about best practices and new developments. Feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn.
