Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I guided dozens of clients through major financial and digital transformations. Their legacy (i.e., accounting, costing, and information) system did not meet their business needs, leading to repeated downtimes and operational inefficiencies.
Approach and Actions:
1. Active Listening & Empathy: I understood their operational challenges, strategic goals, and the specific challenges of their legacy system to align our solution with their long-term business vision.
2. Collaborative Problem-Solving: I assembled a cross-functional team, including accountants, software engineers, system integrators, and a
dedicated support group to brainstorm a tailored solution. I led the team in mapping out a phased plan that involved:
o Immediate Stabilization: Rapid deployment of fixes to ensure system uptime remained in check.
o Custom Integration: Developing custom middleware that bridged the gap between the outdated system and our modern solutions.
o Training & Empowerment: Designing and delivering hands-on training sessions for the clients` IT staff, ensuring they could manage the new
integrations.
3. Transparent Communication: I instituted a protocol for regular updates allowing us to adapt and respond to any additional concerns in real
time.
Outcome:
• Efficiency Gains: The integration reduced system downtime by over 40%.
• Client Empowerment: The custom training courses reduced future support calls by nearly 25%.
• Long-Term Relationship: Our clients have achieved impressive results.
