ABOUT CHRIS SIMMERMAN

One of my key differentiators is my ability to get things done. I accomplish tasks by setting clear expectations and holding my team accountable. I’m also a player-coach, always willing to roll my sleeves up and jump in to solve any challenge. Promoted and trusted with increasing responsibility throughout my career with Sallie Mae and Salesforce.com, I have been continually acknowledged for my team building talents and influential leadership in complex technical environments, plus my deep commitment to both relationship management and business development. I love solving problems, and I eagerly take on new challenges and responsibilities such as expanding my sphere of leadership and taking on new initiatives and complex projects. I think that knowing how to communicate and connect with people is essential. I am a firm believer that trust, likeability, and confidence are also cornerstones to developing relationships. I use a tailored approach to presenting complex ideas and solutions when speaking with clients and project stakeholders, always keeping their understanding, interest, and expertise in mind. These core assets have helped me to create structure in ambiguity. Strengths Include: Team Leadership Information Technology Business Analysis Technical Evangelism CRM System Administration Business Systems Analysis Agile Project Management Multi-mode Communications Change Management Coaching & Mentoring Systems Implementations Data Mining/Data Analysis Risk Mitigation Strategic Planning Reports & Dashboards Prioritization
