Hiring this candidate nets you a leader who believes in a forward-looking organization that supports its most valuable investment, its human resources. I am looking for a leadership position where I can use my communication and planning skills at the strategic level to improve business productivity throughout all divisions of the company.

I have led a number of large IT and health system related activities and provided consultation to organizations across Canada. I am known for my thinking across traditional boundaries and strong sense of the need for decision making predicated upon long term strategic planning.

• make significant contributions to a developing Integrated Mental Health System in Eastern Ontario.

I have thirty years’ experience providing IM / IT support to large organizations and clients of many sizes in the public and private sector. My experience spans operations, management, consultation, and expert panels. With a user driven, interdisciplinary approach, and leveraging innovative public and private sector partnerships, I have successfully delivered large and small projects to better support front line service delivery.

Recent projects include:

• Promoting large scale health sector back office and Electronic Health Records projects,
• Business Process Reengineering for a health authority in BC,
• Deployment of a national comparative database and business intelligence environment,
• Implementation of cutting edge technology to capture data from written notes at the point of care,
