About Cheryl Sambuco

c••••••••@gmail.com •I am an experienced Scientist-Project Manager (PMP®) who leads multiple complex projects by creating effective collaborative business relationships. I have over 20 years of experience managing and directing cross-functional groups contributing deliverables to each of my projects. My core competency set is highly applicable to scientific, technical and operational leadership roles.What I do is support and advance operational excellence, by driving continuous improvement in my projects that yield tangible cost reductions and process improvements. I am well-versed in Kaizen events, 5S projects, Lean Methodologies, and overall promoting and sustaining effective collaborative relationships.I can fluidly shift between the “big picture” and project level details, whether that involves conducting in-depth analyses on processes, measuring impact, and providing data-driven reports and recommendations for improvements, or serving as a change agent leading the project team members to think critically and work independently.The added value I bring to the table is my breadth of technical experience, engaging leadership style, and the desire to bring people together for a common goal.
