Bio
Having had success in a variety of IT-related positions, I find that I am most effective performing in the space between the business and the technical, comfortable and confident traversing as deeply and as broadly into each as is called for. I am highly skilled technically, predominantly in the data realm, and very effective with written and verbal communication, to all audiences. This has proven valuable for ERP related projects, from filling gaps to, more recently, building bridges to the manufacturing plant floor. I have a tremendous passion for learning and addressing the business problem, be it through business, data, process, or technical analysis and resolution. Proven success as a manager and a leader.

Elevator Pitch
“Material” as used in the name, is meant in a few ways. As a noun, it speaks directly to data about objects or components, typically found in a manufacturing or supply chain environment. As an adjective, it means data that is relevant, pertinent, and/or important. Mining, harvesting and often connecting and presenting such data is the passion underpinning all that we do.

Skill | Strength | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Data Processing | 95 / 100 | I chose this as a major heading. I include here analysis, management, stewardship, and on big, medium, and small platforms and formats. Everything from costing query plans to designing a widget on a BI dashboard. The common problem has been with businesses and applications that are very good at capturing data, but fall short with getting into the hands of decision makers, and in a format that is helpful and comprehensible. |
Consulting | 90 / 100 | Throughout my career, I have been seen by leaders and team members as “someone that every company needs, but no one knows what to call it, or what to pay for it.” I put this under this skill because this has been where I’ve shined most: as a Consultant — being able to advise on a problem and to effect a solution. “Raving fans” — learned as a young consultant — remains my goal through to today. |
Management | 85 / 100 | Proven success as a manager and a leader, effective in both business and technical spaces. |
