Strategy, Resources and Realization
Turning obstacles into opportunities
Welcome
Real Problem Solved....The name says it all.
My secret to success can be attributed to refusing to focus on the noise or expend time, money & energy putting out nuisance fires. Rather, I identify & address what is or will keep me, my team and other stakeholders from reaching the desired outcome. What about you?
Who, What, Where and How
All About Me
Always looking for the best in a situation and the people involved has helped me exercise the old adage: If you love what you do for a living then you will never work a day in your life.
When you get down to brass tacks, I like a challenge and being an entrepreneur at heart, I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to formulate, build, manage, secure investments for and optimize both personal and client businesses both domestically and internationally.
Taking great pride in being able to assemble and/or empower a team to successfully manage client, investor, contractor, vendor, & subcontractor expectations against what is actually obtainable, clients and teammates have achieved positive outcomes where none were thought to be available and I was grateful to play my part.
Already possessing Six Sigma certification in Project Management, Diversity & Inclusion, and Agile Leadership as well as being a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and SCRUM Master, I am currently completing my certification from Columbia in Project Construction Management.
Simply stated, I welcome the chance to share my skills and knowledge where I can, so, after reviewing the sections below, if you feel there is an opportunity to collaborate then please visit the Contact Me page and schedule an appointment and/or drop me an email.
