As the Director of Operations at CoolHotNot, I have aided in the creation of the corporate business plan, marketing plan, release plan, vendor engagement strategy, launch strategy, and revenue generation model for an internet start-up that aids consumers in making intelligent consumer-electronics choices.
I also provided focused operational leadership that led to the successful, on-time launch of CoolHotNot.com on 1/5/2011 at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) as announced in this press release, then demonstrated CoolHotNot’s unique value proposition during the 2012 CES event while fostering new business relationships that helped position the company for continued success.
While serving in senior leadership positions at IBM I led multi-million
dollar global initiatives that focused on business process
transformation, product management, software development, and technical support.
I enjoy working in environments where sound leadership is required to
establish solid business practices which improve organizational efficiency,
effectiveness and impact, and which restore or enhance employee morale and
productivity.
I believe in the power of a clear and inspiring vision, the benefit of a flexible social style,
the importance of honest and open communication, and the value of establishing solid partnerships which lead to mutual success.
As a participative manager / leader, I rapidly develop and
maintain an organizational climate which fosters high productivity, achievement, and quality output.
I do so by maximizing employee / team member involvement and commitment,
building skills and competencies, balancing workloads, and promoting high standards and levels of performance in an atmosphere where
teamwork and high job satisfaction prevail.
I have extensive experience managing, hiring, training, developing, and coaching
staff – as well as leading organizations tackling difficult problems in environments
where common sense, creative solutions to complex issues, process
improvement, and the ongoing monitoring of key metrics are essential to success.
