About Tashawnda Barnes

I’m a highly analytical and process-oriented professional with a proven track record of success in process improvements, managing projects and programs, presenting to executives, and establishing vendor relationships. Proven capacity to identify, analyze, and solve complex problems – designing workable strategies and solutions from concept to completion. Excel in dynamic, demanding environments while remaining pragmatic and focused.DEMONSTRATED ACHIEVEMENTS: Managed 4 million dollar Contractor Management Program (Managed Service Provider). Built client relationships with third party vendors providing the ability to influence andchallenge stakeholders to ensure the right business outcome as each relationship grew. Developed and rolled out University Relations Program nationally and maintainedrelationships with identified top tier institutions. Identified a more comprehensive background check vendor to provide more servicesresulting in a cost savings of 7.7% less per background package and waived theintegration fee of $1,500.00. Identified areas of opportunity in the FCRA administrative process that would havenegatively impacted the company financially upwards of per transaction.I thrive for the challenge to interview new vendors and set up processes that are tailored to the company strategic objectives. On all projects, small or large scale, I strive to meet with all stakeholders and ensure the end result of any project is a great compliment to the company’s mission, vision, and values. I am a strategic thinker that looks at the downstream impact of all decisions. The phrase “this is how we’ve always done it” is a dangerous statement that stems from complacency and I will always challenge it because as technology evolves, companies, and people in general, should evolve.
