Background

About Michael Piers

I am driven to figure out how things work: systems, processes, procedures. Converting understanding into actions, I have launched multiple corporate initiatives that secured competitive advantages through efficiency gains and dollars saved. These successful initiatives include managing and expanding world- class data centers. Accomplishing industry-leading successes means building and inspiring teams. I am proud that team members say I am an excellent communicator and the best manager they have ever had. This ability to lead and maximize the contribution of each team member means that projects are completed on time, within budget, and meet or exceed the expectations of all stakeholders. The projects I managed always have a positive impact on the bottom line. Partnering with company executives, key departments, and clients I accurately define the scope of a project, identify necessary resources, and efficiently manage the entire project. My project management expertise has earned the respect and continued support of internal and external customers. An innovative, creative, subject expert with an encyclopedic knowledge of systems and a passion for continuous improvement, I am looking forward to joining a company where I can continue to make significant contributions.
