About Brad Bell
I love to dig into customer problems and solve them with modern technology. I create, scale and optimize project initiatives that matter. To accomplish this, I focus on key results, align myself with amazing teams and quickly adapt to new insights. I have enjoyed many IT Management positions throughout my career in Cloud Engineering, Technical Team Leadership, Technical Account Management, and Senior Level System Administration. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself: I can successfully create, scale, support and optimize enterprise-level project initiatives from $5M to $5B in revenue- I put the customer at the center of all that I do- I excel at the execution of big ideas with given constraints- My gut instinct is trustworthy but I seek data for my decisions. I can align, lead, and grow world-class system engineering teams from 10 to 100 people to solve problems- I love to win, but helping the team win gives me greater joy- I speak tech and exec- I tell great narratives that motivate- The buck always stops with me. I educate, refine, and drive myself to be a better person - I am constantly learning because I never settle- I stay calm when faced with adversity- I focus on making high-quality decisions. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. Reach out if you want to talk to me about emerging tech, cloud / systems engineering, or trading the stock market.
