About Steven Fulcher

I’m a seasoned IT project management professional currently serving as a Procurement Manager with a track record of success in delivering large-scale, complex, enterprise-wide technology initiatives to global Fortune 500 companies. Through my tenure as an IT project manager, I’ve worked to offer my best every step of the way, providing optimal results, maintaining partnerships and relationships, and driving cost-effective deliveries that improve performance and productivity. My experience and success in leading hardware, software, risk management, and change management projects are rooted firmly in analytics and strategic thinking, communication, and collaboration. I can create effective relationships across a range of stakeholders and peers, which allows me to lead smooth project operations, implementations, and initiatives. I deliver multi-million-dollar IT projects on time, on budget, and above expectations and easily identify areas of improvement to streamline operations, automate processes, and reduce overhead costs - experience that will prove valuable in my next role. As someone who thrives in a highly technical fast-paced environment, I welcome the opportunity to problem solve within the context and needs of the business environment, supporting change management initiatives that will propel an organization forward without disrupting the daily flow. I’m also passionate about mentoring and coaching and truly enjoy the opportunity to develop teams and talent, creating a supportive culture that fosters individual growth, expands technical knowledge, and leverages collaboration to overcome the most complex challenges and achieve business goals.
