Operations Planning Operations Audit Team Lead

Team Lead/Project Manager

Team Leadership involves overall responsibility for the operations of a development and/or operations team.

Normally a team leader is the principle interface to the responsible executive for the initiative, and manages the development of requirements and features, team operations, and negotiates priorities.

As a Team Leader I have extensive experience in working with all the stakeholders in a project including: marketing & sales, technology, project teams, customer relations & support, and users, as well as a wide variety of business departments.

Because I have worked at one time or another in almost every discipline I can understand the issues and concerns of all the team members, as well as the senior management.
