Key accomplishments include the following (generally in chronological order):

Reynolds Metals: Designed and developed the corporate-wide SNA Gateway

product used to increase wholesale aluminum transactions worldwide by

integrating previously disparate communication networks.

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond: Co-designed and co-developed (with IBM)

the Automated Console Operations (ACO) and Automated Network Operations

(ANO) products used to assist with mainframe and network consolidation for the

entire Federal Reserve System (all districts).

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond: Led the mainframe and network

consolidation (5th District – Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina

and South Carolina). First of twelve districts to complete consolidation

successfully.

Personal Project/Investment: Recruited and organized the initial Board for the

Bank of Powhatan (Virginia), then raised $5M dollars towards initial launch.

Virginia Retirement System: Reorganized the agency’s IT divisions to be

performance focused and more responsive to the needs of the agency and its

stakeholders.

Virginia Retirement System: Led the implementation of the agency’s Web

Security Perimeter which was a fundamental prerequisite for member and

employer self-service through the Internet.

Virginia Retirement System: Led the implementation of critical self-service

applications for 500,000 members and 1000 participating employers.

Governor’s Office (Virginia): Organized and supervised the startup of the

Virginia Enterprise Applications Program (VEAP) under Governors Warner and

Kaine, which led to the implementation of the state-wide Performance Based

Budget system -- a critical component of “Virginia Performs” (the

Commonwealth’s performance management methodology and toolset).

Governor’s Office (Virginia): Implemented the Governor’s Management

Scorecard – a tool inside of Virginia Performs that focused on benchmarking and

comparing the performance of various management teams across agencies.

Governor’s Office (Virginia): Coordinated Virginia’s second (of two) nationwide

competitions for the designation of “Best Managed State” as part of the Pew

Center’s Government Performance Project. Virginia received the award in both

competitions.

KPMG: Analyzed and evaluated the organization and operation of Cardinal

Health’s “eRecovery” drug program. Areas where significant observations were

made included process variations, staff skills/reorganization, technology

deficiencies, planning improvements and comparison to competitors.

KPMG: Led the development of the Business Transformation Roadmap and the

accompanying Technology Transformation Roadmap for New York State’s

Division of Homes and Community Renewal. These products led to a broad range

of process improvements and corresponding technology investments.

New York State (Executive Chamber): Implemented the Governor's strategic

program to develop and implement a state-wide performance management

discipline and toolset referred to as “NYPerforms.” This was a major commitment

on the Governor’s part, and the 40+ agencies involved, to formally manage

towards improving performance and overall transparency.
