Expert's broad background in business analysis allows him to quickly generate a strategic, tactical and actionable business case to drive change. His project management and change management skills quickly find and resolve resistance and then allow him to bring the project to a successful completion or train the deployment staff to do so.
Expert's business development skills relate to optimizing the business process, business systems, and personnel to create highly effective operations with minimal internal conflict and inefficiencies, increase engagement, build a trust-based culture, and inspire a vision toward the future.
Expert's background as an engineer became a passion for automating systems and processes, as well as the keen ability to visualize, design, procure, deploy and even program solutions to business problems. Over the years Expert became the champion of new technology initiatives in every company he worked for, leading to expert knowledge in applying computer systems and hardware to business needs and building out the networking backbone that all the business applications were using.
With this dual capability to understand the computer systems and to program code along with understanding the business users needs, Expert became adept at filing the role of business analyst and being able to speak the language of both groups of stakeholders. In the development of software products and as a product manager, he was effective at bringing numerous new products to market and new system to bear in internal issues.
Expert's career made a transition from engineering and product development to marketing and sales, where he quickly moved up from manager to Director and then VP of Marketing and Sales for a UK public company.
He defined a new strategy for the international market, built a distribution network into 36 countries, and successfully manged that network for 8 years where it grew to be 31% of the revenue of that entire business unit.
