"I served as the delivery manager for a large technology consolidation initiative. Our company was purchased and merged with a number of companies that had similar systems. My teams supported several vendors and custom resource scheduling and assignment management tools. The executive leadership of our new owners determined that there was an opportunity to discover which solutions in this space could be implemented in a standard way that would reduce redundancies. It was decided that some of the solutions my team managed were best-in-class and would be used across several of the groups from the other companies we merged with.

I was asked to lead the consolidation initiative from a program management perspective. I was responsible for facilitating steering committee meetings, driving the discovery process, and working with individual teams to develop strategies for onboarding them onto the technology solutions my team supported. This included working with operations, finance, accounting, HR, and several technology groups."
