About Paul Jacob

Fun fact about me: Imagine my surprise when I realized that my knack for finding “shortcuts” and operating more efficiently was a talent that could be utilized in an actual career path - go figure! I am genuinely motivated by this work, taking pride in seeing a project come to fruition and my contribution to it being used in practice. I’ve had the pleasure of investing in the professional development and goal attainment of rising professionals who once questioned if it were possible. I would consider myself a “jack” of many trades; my skillset includes designing, building, testing, and deploying updates and enhancements to increase efficiency. Possessing an innate ability to identify areas that can be improved, removed, or outsourced has been the true catalyst to my career success. During the project management lifecycle, I excel at gathering information about a problem, analyzing it, and finding the root cause. When I think about some of the most memorable moments of my career, what comes to mind is:* A client once said in a review that my company needed to build a statue in my honor in front of the building after solving multiple issues. The company's president announced this review during a companywide meeting.* Built, tested, and deployed an entire product for a Disaster Recovery test in less than a week, which resulted in one of our most successful tests.* Created a new process flow for Accounts Payable that significantly increased productivity and streamlined the Accounts Payable process. Some of my core competencies are: Execution, Decision-Making, Strategy Development, Team Management, and Remote Productivity I consider myself a teacher and student.
