Summary

In my most recent role as the Project Delivery Manager, I supervised 3 Project Managers, 2 Assistant Project Managers, while also managing projects and serving as an Implementation Specialist when required. My team worked in both our Distribution and Automotive software while coordinating with our development teams to meet customer expectations. I worked closely with the sales team and senior management to keep everyone abreast of any potential issues or concerns.


My prior roles as an Implementation Specialist, Monitoring Installer and Customer Service roles prepared me to manage uncomfortable customer interactions, understand the art of active listening and problem solving. Although I may not have formal education in my fields, I am a very adaptive learner and most importantly understand the importance of providing great customer service, even when you are unable to fulfill every customer request.
