PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE 

CompuPay, Inc. - Miramar, FL.  (March 2007 to Present)  

Tasked with introducing Project Management practices, controls, standards and disciplines into the organization as they grew through acquisitions and residual expansion.  With growth came an increase in workload and the existing operational activities needed refining to ensure continued success.

Helped successfully introduce an agile/scrum approach to software development, while also implementing proactive risk management, collaborative approaches and technologies, standardized reporting and project closure/review processes to facilitate perpetual improvement to the project lifecycle.

A new initiative we also established was that of a formal approach to project/program planning, prioritization and approval.  This will lay the foundation for future project portfolio and governance activities.

Acted as the project manager during the later stages of a major undertaking to redevelop the company’s B2B online payroll website and back-office systems.  The project objectives are to review the existing legacy system built on Coldfusion and an HP database, rewrite everything in dot-net and MS-SQL architecture followed by conversion and support of existing clients.

Interval International (An operating business of IAC) - Miami, FL & Belfast, N. Ireland

Miami, FL 1995 to March 2007

As the Senior Project Manager in the company I was given the lead role in establishing a PMO for the organization and instituting corporate wide, (SOX compliant), procedures, methodologies and best practices to facilitate prioritization, initiation, planning, execution, control and reporting of projects.

With the PMO established, the focus shifted to continued improvement and maturity through process refinement and the identification and implementation of best practices across all projects.

Worked to identify, lead and motivate an enthusiastic team, which, when coupled with diligent monitoring and response to scope, budget and time variance from the baseline, is a key element to any project’s success. 

Adhering to best practices, I worked with project stakeholders and project managers to ensure requirements are assembled, deliverables and expectations set, risks identified, costs agreed to and work executed to a high standard. 

Belfast, N. Ireland 1991 to 1995

As lead programmer, I led a team through the entire life cycle of designing, developing, testing and maintaining a ‘Marketing and Sales’ software system for worldwide installation in vacation resorts.
