Principal Consultant and the Founder of ECONO-ProjectEX

 

What has been your favorite project and why?

Having been accidentally thrown in an immense high-risk and high-pressure macro level network deployment, I became a Project Manager leading a wide range of ground breaking ICT & Telecom/ Mobile projects for major technology operators across the Caribbean and Central America; 4204+ sites enabling 4+ million end-users spanning 30+ islands. Nowadays, I’m overly obsessed with business (MSMEs) priorities and focused on helping them manage their complex projects, improve project results, take your business from a point of chaos to order and solve your biggest setbacks based on importance, urgency and ROI: Risk & Change Management, Milestones, Productivity & Resilience, Technology Solutions and Channel of Accountability.

Why did you join The PMO Leader community?

I'm presently the Host and Moderator and Organizer of the Digital Transformation Webinar Series. Each episode highlights excellent topics for Project Management, PMO, Digital Transformation leaders and team members to learn more about resources to improve their effectiveness. The webinars are free for all to attend, and the free membership provides access to the recordings.

Who is someone you’d like to meet within our industry?

I would like to meet Joe, Americo and Laura in-person. I've hosted these 3 great global leaders on our Digital Transformation Webinar Series, and I've found them to be very inspiring!

What is something about you not many people know but you’d like to share with the community?

My view is that a blend of Project Management, Technology and Engineering can be fun! My multicultural exposure has given deep interests in: Business & Digital Transformation, Mentorship, Motivation and Productivity.

As a native English speaker, I speak Creole Patois as my local tongue, and learning conversational Spanish and French. Moreover, I would like to maximize the value of life-long volunteerism, networking, collaboration and partnership. Leverage and provide thought leadership through Project Management.
