About Carol Kallfelz

I am a seasoned, highly capable, motivated IT professional with a reasonably good sense of humor and twenty years of experience in: business and systems analysis; policy and data analysis; and product and project management. My particular strengths include:• Quickly assimilating complex information and abstracting patterns and meaning from it• Developing strategic and analytical frameworks that bring clarity to messy problems and generate solutions • Going beyond information to higher-order implications that are incisive, relevant and actionable• Solving the right problem by focusing on the root cause, not symptoms• Presenting and communicating in concise, plain language to a variety of audiences• Juggling a large set of competing priorities and pivoting quickly from one to another“I want to be with people who submerge in the task, who go into the fields to harvest and work in a row and pass the bags along, who are not parlor generals and field deserters but move in a common rhythm when the food must come in or the fire be put out.” Excerpted from “To be of use” by Marge Piercy
