Projects of Distinction
- Generated $20 million one-time & $1.5 million recurring cost avoidance by devising a unique solution which leveraged existing server technology in a non-traditional fashion.
- Saved over 100,000 man-hours per year previously spent in remediating non-compliant low-risk issues by transforming the IT governance model from industry best practice to risk based approach.
- Generated an annual cost reduction of $6.5 million by consolidating 5 overlapping data security technologies into a single leading edge technology.
- Developed standardized engineering methodology that reduced time to market by 40%. By creating standardized templates for engineering projects, engineering team was able to reduce the time required to introduce new technology into the company from 18 months to 11 months.
- Achieved ISO27001 certification for Security Administration teams. This was the first certification of a multi-national financial institution.
- Consolidated 5 independent file transfer systems to a single transfer platform generating annual operational cost savings of $6 million. Additionally, sales increased 2% above projection due to cross-sale opportunities.
- Analyzed existing connectivity between the plants and corporate HQ. Discovered that trunk lines already existed for voice traffic. Traffic study indicated the lines were utilized at 10% level over 85% of the time.
- Developed scorecard to track remediations by site. This was centerpiece of weekly status presentation to Senior Management which clearly showed accountability.
- Designed 3-tier infrastructure to support MRP/2 implementation: Granular plant production data remained at each plant on Intel-based platforms; aggregated data rolled up to division AS/400’s; historical data was warehoused in System 390.
- Devised methodology to allow secure data exchange with upstream and downstream partners whose systems did not support EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).
- Achieved Year 2000 regulatory compliance for PKI after receiving management responsibility for it with only 4 days till deadline. Assessed issues and created remediation plan in first 8 hours of PKI ownership. Completed remediation effort with 12 hours to spare.
- Created corporate secure email solution including operation & administration process manuals, awareness memos, and training program. Conducted train-the-trainer seminars in London, Singapore, and São Paulo.
- As part of corporate merger, devised methodology for extraction, normalization, and insertion of user data from disparate corporate systems, allowing the smooth transition to a single universal desktop identity store.
- Created methodology to reduce operational costs through the standardization of technology configurations. Solution allowed for central engineering and testing of technologies with distributed deployment and support.
- Before Internet mass availability, created remote portal allowing secure remote access to all sales data allowing sales force immediate access to customer data, inventory levels, and order creation from any locale with a phone line (1989).
