Experience

  1. Senior Consulting Manager Government Technology and Operations Advisory Practice

    Plante Moran

    Jul 2021 — Present

    I lead teams who inspire our clients to transform service delivery through the innovative use of technology. This includes coaching and mentoring professionals to become integral client-servers within a consulting practice serving North America. My ideal client faces rapid growth forcing organizational transformation and expects to prove the value of services they deliver through technology investment. This includes delivering compelling value through business process optimization and strategic technology modernization initiatives including design, sourcing, contracting, and solution delivery. Rapid technology change involves keeping a pulse on today\'s innovative technology vendors. To this end, I coordinate an international partner alliance network of 30 vendors in the public sector industry vertical - state, local, and special purpose government (SLED). These relationships enable my teams to educate and coach public service leaders to modernize their technology capabilities to create recognized and sustained value. My business process specialties include regulatory compliance (licensing, permitting, land management), IT operations management and strategy, and physical (infrastructure) asset management including capital planning, capital program management, workforce management, and procurement. My technology focus areas include: ERP, location analytics (GIS), utility billing, land development (permitting/licensing), customer information, and work order / asset management systems.
