About Gerald Sharp

I am a seasoned professional with 18+ years of project management and client relationship management experience in various sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for process improvement, as well as for strategy development and department leadership, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include change management, procurement, vendor management, policy development, fiscal planning, problem solving, cost reduction strategy, regulatory compliance and collaboration. Delivering superior administration of the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximize returns. Currently, I am the Senior Manager, Strategic Projects with BPL Plasma, In my role, I lead a newly formed six-person team aiming to elevate fleet-wide process capabilities and overall group bench strength, and oversee the company's Project Management Office (PMO). I have closed 146 projects with the PMO, resulting in revenue generation and cost savings of $13 million within the last 3 years and a reduction of open audit corrective actions from 76 to 0. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and other departments to ensure the company's project support structure is driving business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, strategic and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget. I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field. Feel free to contact me through this profile if you wish to connect.
