Managing Across Time Zones

Conceived of, and stood up, an innovative program to create a Millennium application team extension in Bangalore, India as an alternative to short-term contractors. In so doing, created a permanent solution rather than a temporary one, for less than 25% of the cost over a two-year period. Team members were successfully integrated into the embedded team - extending both team bandwidth and hours of service. Was invited to join the ITMS leadership team in order to overcome existing challenges with rolling the same program out service-organization wide. Increased the percentage of tickets completed by leveraged resources from 9.48% to 22.29% in nine months through engagement with client-embedded team leaders and managers. Greatly increased team cohesion between US and India-based teams, in collaboration with India leadership, through various activities and processes to get to know colleagues as people rather than just a nebulous entity. Success was measured through a significant increase to positive feedback being submitted for their global colleagues. Consciously and directly addresses bias in the workplace, in order to take action to prevent or mitigate its effects upon decision making. Created and led sessions on microaggressions with team members, centering voices of people of color and people with disabilities.

Was the project roadmap owner on behalf of the client - from stakeholder-submitted idea through implementation for nearly 20 enterprise business owners. Currently the leader providing oversight to projects being implemented by Oracle ITMS at Cook County.
