I've been delivering business solutions for more than twenty years for some of the world’s largest companies including Procter & Gamble, General Electric, AT&T, American Electric Power and Marathon Oil.  I've delivered solutions in a wide variety of areas including product design and development, telecommunications network management, desktop software management, data warehousing and information delivery, and finance and accounting. 

My specialty areas include strategic sourcing, project and portfolio management, and organizational competency development.  I've have been on the forefront of the trend to use outsourcing and global sourcing approaches, and led a number of key sourcing initiatives at P&G which delivered significant savings and flexibility. 

My current focus is on increasing the pace of innovation and creating additional value through strategic partnerships.
