I am a proven executive and advisor with over 30 years in IT Management, and almost 20 years of experience in AI, data, and digital transformation. I l love mentoring and helping individuals on their own technical careers and helping organizations and executive strategize and leverage their AI roadmap, and improve their data foundation and technology to achieve their goals for tomorrow while creating value for today. At my previous role as the Director of Data Analytics and Insights at Valmont Industries, I led the transformation to a data-driven organization, delivering impressive results such as increasing user retention rate by 25%, reducing time-lost incidents by 40%, and generating over $1M in productivity gains and cost savings. I also received the prestigious Informatica Innovation Award for Business Acceleration in 2023, as a recognition of our vision, creativity, and leadership. I am passionate about empowering and educating my teams and stakeholders, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, and nurturing tomorrow's leaders. I have multiple certifications, including PMP, ITIL, and Six Sigma, and I leverage my expertise in Microsoft Azure, Informatica, Alteryx, Databricks, SAP, and PowerBI to enable data-driven decision making and business acceleration. I am always open to new opportunities and challenges, and I look forward to connecting with you.
