Background

About Michael Neumann

My broad skill set, diverse-industry experience, and proven record of success leading global projects/programs, enterprise IT initiatives, collaborative business/technology partnerships, and multidisciplinary teams are an excellent match to a variety of opportunities. I offer over two decades of experience fulfilling business and technology leadership roles, and have led workforces comprised of 47 global team members and project budgets up to $8.4M. Most recently for United Airlines, I managed the migration of Tier 1-4 applications from our Houston DC to the state of the art Chicago NDC. This was accomplished through team leadership and alignment as a business / application relationship manager. I delivered goal-surpassing results such as: Nearly $1M in IT cost savings as lead of an enterprise-wide IT productivity program to eliminate redundant and legacy equipment. KPI dash boarding, process mapping, and training initiatives that improved the accuracy, transparency, and compliance of applications being migrated across multiple business units and functions. Next-gen technology solutions proven to streamline processes, lower costs, boost productivity, and elevate customer satisfaction to new bests. A history of successfully completing all projects on (or under) budget and within timeline goals. I achieved similar success in prior consulting, operations, IT, and project management roles within the consumer packaged goods and banking/financial services sectors, leading global teams and high-priority initiatives for clients and employers including United Airlines, Walgreens, Northern Trust, Kraft Foods, Millward Brown. Regarded as a “quintessential collaborator,” “value-adding strategist,” and “innovative problem-solver” by supervisors, colleagues, and clients, I’m known for my strengths in guiding teams of cross-functional talent through problem/opportunity identification, solution discovery, process improvement, and change innovation.
