About Mike Salafia

PMP and CSM Certified Professional with a Masters in Telecommunications and Networking and over 15 years solid expertise in Program and Project Management, Personnel Management, and Data Center Network Deployment. Sr Program Manager at Dropbox!• Program Development – Developing a program should result in providing a repeatable, scalable processes for delivering projects that align to the strategic visions of the organization. For me this includes providing full visibility of program goals and accomplishments through the project life cycle, as well as publication of a metrics deck. • Project Management – Communication is usually the key to successful project management. As a TPM I am always coordinating the requirements of stakeholders and fostering collaborative environment of communication among cross functional teams, aligning to common goals and objectives. As all projects incur changes, managing change and effectively communicating scope revisions to project teams and stakeholders, documenting through issue logs and Project Change Requests is paramount. To put the \"T\" in TPM, I enjoy analysis and problem solving to effectively provide solutions to technical issues, while delegating responsibilities to empower team members.• Communication & Presentation – Delivering projects is great, but the communication throughout the life cycle is extremely important and requires the ability to translate the status, upcoming tasks, risks and impacts in a clear and concise manner. • Data Center Network Deployment – Network scaling is the foundation for growing cloud capacity. My experience has focused on implementing multiple scales of network architectures and influencing the use of Best Practices to achieve high availability data center network infrastructure.
