From a temporary employee for a financial services organization doing mostly file and mail room services, I eventually became a full-time employee providing help-desk support after the management took notice of my technical skills. I quickly rose through the ranks and was then exposed to software development, which became the launching pad of my programming career. I then began to lead a term of application developers until I was tasked to lead a division’s IT department for a healthcare company. I was entrusted with more responsibilities and later on took a leadership role in the implementation of HIPPA, healthcare compliance and accreditation. The CEO recognized my capabilities and asked that I lead the managed care division as the Vice President, while they were on search for a new candidate. During that fourteen-month period, I served on the executive board and was able to produce significant increases in both revenue and profit margin. Upon successful completion of that assignment, I was tapped to lead a project to consolidate five-divisional IT departments into one cohesive organization-wide department.
