Without teamwork, you are left with chaos!

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for leading teams of all sizes from smaller technical teams inside my own practice to cross-company and multi-national collaborations involving hundreds of team members. Enabling communication, collaboration, teamwork and providing training are critical success factors. Having access to a user-friendly suite of productivity tools that all team members have been trained to use has consistently risen to the top as an enabling factor. Specifically, I've seen that projects, where team members are using Microsoft Office 365 which includes Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, have a greater chance of success.

I am passionate about helping clients leverage the most convenient, user-friendly cloud-based suite of productivity tools. I bring nearly 20 years of experience working in multi-national companies deploying Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. I have seen companies that have been fabulously successful and unfortunately, I've seen some fail miserably. The patterns for what works and what doesn't are almost always the same. I am an expert in building enthusiasm and ensuring success while navigating the potholes that cause failures.

My extensive experience with FORTUNE 500 companies, clients, customers & vendors include:

✔ ASTRAZENECA
✔ AMERICAN WATERWORKS
✔ ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES
✔ INDEPENDENCE BLUE CROSS
✔ FMC
✔ MICROSOFT
✔ PPL CORPORATION
✔ PFIZER
✔ WESTINGHOUSE
✔ DREXEL UNIVERSITY
✔ CIGNA WORLDWIDE INSURANCE CORPORATION
✔ UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
✔ URBAN OUTFITTERS
