About Eric Rodriguez

I am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP), able to look at almost anything as a project, to break it down into definable deliverables and work with teams, across departments, and with external stakeholders to accomplish those deliverables. For example, at Xerox, I leveraged my project management skills to optimize its Enterprise Project Management Office (PMO). Having more than 10 years of experience working in multiple roles at Xerox and several years of experience as a consultant, I have broad background in information technology (IT), procurement, financials, and inventory management. I excel at building trusted advisor relationships with customers and partners.With strong background in project management and lean methodologies, I am adept at leading on-time and on-budget projects by managing schedules and resources, workflow, and financials. I’m especially skilled at at project turnarounds, getting troubled projects on track using advanced process redesign and improvement and change management. For example, I took on a troubled project at Xerox for implementing the BigMachines SaaS application for its Global Document Outsourcing organization, and successfully met key deliverables for both North American and European entities. I lead my teams like my projects, providing a keen attention to detail to motivate teammates based on their best skills, and working to refine those areas that need work. I excel at directing multiple tasks effectively and leading cross-functional teams to accomplish project goals.
