Professional Project ManagementWhen you need someone for project management, I’m your person. I excel at planning, organizing and overseeing how and when project goals are met. As a project manager, I orchestrate all aspects of time-limited, discrete projects. I may manage people from departments as different as marketing, IT and human resources…or across geographies and countries.
 I believe that truly effective project management is both an art and a skill, requiring the ability to “style flex” in order to manage different personality types and influence senior executives. I make sure everything comes together in a timely, cost-effective manner. Good project management demands multitasking ability, analytical thinking and excellent communication skills…all of which I have. I maintain the progress and mutual interaction and tasks of various parties in a way to maximize benefits, reduce risk of failure or time stalls and restricts costs. How I Manage ProjectsI supervise and oversee the planning, implementation and status reporting on a given project. I manage the project team, which can span a client’s organization. I coordinate among many to obtain required information.
I define the scope of the project, prepare and update the project schedule, and manage the project so that it gets done on time and on budget. I also identify and minimize potential risks to the project timeline and budget and continuously communicate the project's progression to my client contact…and their management, if so desired.
