I began working with emerging technologies in 1994 after graduating from college. After grad school, I started a new career in corporate human resources. That wasn’t the best fit for me, and I quickly gravitated to work rooted more in technology and systems. In 1998, I took my first IT job, traveling extensively to Latin America on a global PeopleSoft project for a Fortune 50 company. I started full-time consulting in 2000 and decided to become my own boss in 2002.
My goal as an independent consultant is–and always has been–to optimize organizations’ use of technology. I like to think that I’ve been reasonably successful, having cultivated close to 100 clients in a wide variety of industries, including health care, manufacturing, retail, education, telecommunications, and the public sector. I have worked with many different organizations that use technology in many different ways–some better than others.
Aside from consulting and speaking, I have written five books:
I hold degrees from Cornell University (Master’s) and Carnegie Mellon University (BS).
