NewVista Web-Developers
Manager / CEO
Established a
multi-disciplined
web-development consulting
firm called NewVista
Web-Developers (www.newvista.biz),
featuring
professional-level
web-development and
SEO (search engine
optimization) services
to corporate clients in and
around Las Vegas. As
manager, I use project
management principles to
create a team-concept to
bring a quantitative
approach to what is
essentially a “qualitative”
industry. Establishing a
management-matrix allows me
to guide the marketing
function, oversee the
programming/development
function, and follow the
financial structure.
NewVista is recognized as a
web-development firm of high
standards, marketing vision,
and proven reliability.
The
client-list grew from a zero
base to double digits very
rapidly due to our marketing
approach: customer-service
first; followed by
development standards,
extensive verbal/written
communication, frequent
client-review, and 'on-time'
project commitment.
The collaborative team
consists of seven production
staff, multiple contributing
vendors, and four
out-of-state affiliates. In
a very short period of time,
NewVista is recognized as a
web-development firm of
repute; one that is
well-referenced, highly
regarded, and professional
in its web-production
capability, and innovative
marketing insight. In
summary, utilizing minimum
injections of capital,
minimum initial
web-expertise, and minimum
personnel, NewVista grew
from a glimmer of an idea to
an established, regarded,
web-development firm. It was
accomplished in my usual
manner: under-budget,
fully-functional, and
on-time.
Prior to
NewVista,
I functioned as a project
management, "problem-solver", implementing and managing a
PlanView Project Management
System segment to
facilitate, co-manage, and
lead a multi-million dollar,
programmatic,
water-distribution unit. I
was designated the “SME”,
(Subject Matter Expert),
with responsibilities to
include: co-managing the
segment from a technical
point of view along with
solving internal and
external information
technology and business
issues. I was a contributing
member of the year-long
Pilot Team that brought the
enterprise-wide application
from infancy to full
implementation.
I activated
my segment’s plan, grouped
the resources, established
communication lines, wrote
appropriate documentation, and kept
the implementation on
schedule to specific
target-dates. I had direct PlanView responsibility for
12 personnel and 6 indirect
reports. In addition, I
advised other managers,
supervisors, leads, and
their personnel in their
business-unit implementation
of PlanView. Units involved
were – Business Systems,
Scientific Systems,
Engineering Operations
Support, SNWS-(water
origination), Remote
Services, and the
Intranet/Web-Team.
Hopefully, my resume
will communicate
how much I genuinely enjoy
the problem-solving, Project Management
function, and the
ancillary administrative
duties that go with it.
When
I accepted the assignment,
almost nothing was known
about the impending software
implementation. With limited
corporate standards to guide
me, I had to:
-
Think and write outside of the box.
-
Originate and compose ideas that had never been considered.
-
Develop and document strategies to validate
work-flow.
-
Write schema for processes that had
not been documented.
-
Implement an Operational Plan with no corporate
guidance.
The project was very
interesting. As a Pilot-Team
member, I was
involved in creative
strategies to develop a
division-wide project
management capability,
(multiple-thousand person-hours
for the team.) In
my own operational area, I was
the Project Manager for my
segment, where I created and
documented due-diligence
concepts and strategies.
Additionally, I persuaded non-involved
employees (including
managers) to cooperate with
me.
To augment my project
coordination skills and
prepare for current or
advanced-technology
assignments, I have taken
more than 200 formal,
classroom hours in Internet
technology. I am now
interested in joining an
energetic organization and
tackling new challenges. My
talents combine some
valuable attributes --
I have an extensive
background in project
coordination, project
management, project
documentation, and the
ability to - "get things
done".
I have positive, but
non-intrusive leadership
ability; am at once
intelligent with broadly
based business experience,
and a proven leader. Equally
important, I’m sensitive to
the human needs and
corporate diplomacy, which
must be met in any
successful environment.
I hope you will agree that I
have the kind of background
you would like to explore
and we can discuss your
goals.
