Background

About Tamar Piehler

Accomplished leader who turns strategy into reality. I bring experts, teams, and stakeholders together to solve complex problems, create new products, renovate outmoded processes, and execute win-win plans. Tell me the mountain that you want to climb, and I’ll build the team, lead us up the rock face, and we’ll plant your flag at the summit! And we’ll have fun doing it. I’m curious by nature and passionate about collaboration and inclusion. Different backgrounds and viewpoints foster thorough understandings and create better solutions. I bring courage to my teams to question the status quo. I thrive in the area where business and technology come together. Speaking both languages fluently, I translate across functional boundaries. With an unquenched fascination for the latest technologies, I thrive in enabling technological advancements while keeping the team grounded in solid business principles and program management practices. Those around me often marvel at my ability to make order out of chaos and call me a “calm in the storm”. I treasure that description. I value trust, honesty, equality, teamwork, fun, and giving back to our community.
