I joined Deltek in September of 2010 as a Product Director focusing on Deltek's Vision ERP platform. My mission was to find ways for the Vision product to continue to meet the changing needs of customers. I am committed to this mission and that commitment paved the way and lead me to take on a leadership role for not only the Vision but also the Maconomy, Ajera, People Planner, PIM, WorkBook, TrafficLIVE, ConceptShare and Avitru product management teams. In 2014, I was made a Vice President within the Product Strategy organization at Deltek.
A frequent speaker at industry events, I focus on ways ERP and other technology solutions can solve organizations’ operational pain points. Prior to joining Deltek, I spent 15 years at Eppstein Uhen Architects after receiving a Masters of Architecture Degree from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. As a Vice President at Eppstein Uhen, I oversaw all IT functions within the firm and played an integral role managing its strategic development and business operations.
