A few examples of what I have done and can do: 

• At the very beginning of Desktop Computing technology I assumed responsibility for the acquisition of new desktop hardware and software for a fortune 100 company.  I   established budgets, approval procedures, product lines, procurement process and support services.  This resulted in significant savings through cost management, volume pricing, hardware / software compatibilities and unification of services.

• What began as contract to provide recruiting sourcing support for an international mining company soon turned into a full time recruiting effort . by the second year of contracting I was recruiting and processing 7 hires a month in the Mining Business Unit, managing 3 technical engineering recruiters nation wide for multiple engineering disciplines, and participating as a member of the corporate staffing and planning efforts.

• When technical communications problems interrupted security management for a large corporate office complex I was asked to get the problem resolved  The issues were resolved by directly engaging  multiple vendors of the systems components and holding them accountable.  I  directed  them to correct the conflicts in the service agreement and develop an integrated solution to the problem.  Communication outage incidents were completely eliminated with the new solution.  The security management of the 4500 employee complex was  reestablished.

•  The  outsourcing contract between IBM and Public Service of Colorado  (Xcel Energies) was over 18 months underway when I took  responsibility of the group supporting the Local Area Network  mid-range computer systems.   After reviewing the engagement agreement I found  discrepancies and poor business practices.  I took action to work with the client and vendors to resolve these which resulted in increased revenues for contracted services, increased billings for incidental project work,  eliminated penalties for late payments to vendors, and greatly improved client relationship.

• I was asked senior management to relocate from Chicago area to Denver to take over the design and implementation of a very large computer communication system  of a major office relocations.  By applying project management disciplines, and working closely with Network Engineering groups, Facilities Management, Procurement and many vendors the project was completed ahead of schedule.  My team and I received Awards of Merit for our efforts.

Most of my career has been in daily operations management of technical teams but there are a number of other accomplishments that I would be happy to discuss.
