I am a competent, and knowledgeable senior IT system engineer with a broad IT background, and comprehensive managing and technology experience. I have managed and worked with several information technology disciplines, and know their cultures, and values.
Challenges and complexity are two qualities I value in my work. I am the owner of two sole proprietorship businesses. One is information technology consulting, and the other is artwork photography. They have provided adequate challenge and complexity.
My ambition is working in environments offering new directions, challenges, and complexities; where I use my management skills, ideas, and intuition, coupled with my abilities of analyzing, creating, and remediating complex systems.
My decision-making is based on knowledge, and human values and needs. These qualities are the core of my management style. I do not have a vested interest in being right. I will quickly change decisions if alternative ideas are better.
Other attributes of my management style are collaborating with stakeholders to accomplish multi-discipline goals, openly sharing information that is not confidential, sharing my knowledge and experience, and mentoring others.
The people skills I have gained as a manager and business owner, have given me an “easy to do business with” customer service style.
