Executive Profile
Enterprise Cloud Transformation allows businesses to do and think about Business and IT differently. We as an
industry are more focused on Business outcomes than ever before. Business drives technology, rapid iteration of
value creation on very specific initiatives is preferred over long-term initiatives. The customer landscape and vendor
landscape is shifting. Attention is turning to Business Ready Cloud (BRC) and evolving to Business Ready Mobility
and Business Ready Productivity. Collaboration and cooperation within and across business units is desired and
available.
I manage a $179M services business serving the Federal Government Civilian Agencies, NGO’s and SI’s which
includes consulting services and support. My job is to develop a customer centric organization that enables relevant
innovation for customers. As GM I cultivate organizational innovation by encouraging risk taking and build diverse
teams to contribute to innovative thinking. It is my responsibility to plan and develop the Services Strategy, and
reinvent it, as needed to ensure the organization adapts to market changes. I am accountable for the strategic
investment in, and optimal allocation of resources to support the changing nature of the business. A GM must
effectively manage complex change, while handling ambiguity and delivering business results. I have managed
tactical and Strategic remediation efforts for Cyber Security breaches at Dept. of State, Postal, EOP and others, the
Civilian Team lead sales and implementation of O365 and we lead in Systems center and infrastructure
implementations as Region of the year in FY14. In FY15 Fed Civ exceeded $100M New Work Sold for the first time. In
the last five years I have managed Fed Civ it has grown from $76M to $179M, over $100M.
Results Matter:
New Work Sold (% of goal) FY11 86%, FY12 113%, FY13 80%, FY14 148%, FY15 127%
Enterprise Services and Support FY11 96%, FY12 115%, FY13 103%, FY14 114%, FY15 115%
Selected Accomplishments
Microsoft Corporation, General Manager Federal Civilian Services, NGO’s & SI’s
2010 to Present
The GM has direct responsibility for Services Delivery to Federal Civilian Agencies, NGO’s and SI’s. The Services
Sales Manager has dotted line responsibility to the GM. During my almost 5 years New Work Sold has grown 265%
and Service Delivery has grown 222%. The organization currently employs a little over three hundred Consultants,
Support personnel and Sales Executives. Groups reporting directly to me include Practice Managers, Program
managers, Consultants, Technical Account Managers, PFE’s (technology experts), CTO, Architects, MA
(Managing Architect), Enterprise Strategy Team, and the Public Sector Cloud organization (responsibility across
Public Sector for Cloud Services).
The GM is responsible for the overarching strategy for Federal Civilian Services, as well as, the primary steward for
a positive end-to-end Customer experience. A personal goal is to be recognized for building high-performing, agile
teams that deliver results and embrace change. It is my responsibility to ensure that measures are in place to
empower Services teams to function as One Services and to create an inclusive work environment where every
employee can effectively engage, and wants to be part of the team. I am proud of the strong and effective leadership
team we have built and that Federal Civilian is seen as a destination of choice for Microsoft services people.
Two years ago I launched our Public Sector Women’s group (PSW) that has grown to over 100 members and is now
seen as the model for Women’s groups across Microsoft. I also launched a Hispanic Latino group (HLPS) that has a
highly effective “guest speaker” series focused on leadership development attracting almost 200 people at each event.
Federal Civilian has continued to grow in diverse representation becoming increasing representative of our customer
base.
A General Managers responsibility also includes development of streamlined processes. As such I have represented
Public Sector in the effort to rebuild our internal financial systems for Services (DAX) based on the Microsoft ERP
system known as Dynamics AX. I have led the team in defining system requirements and Business Intelligence data

I have played a key role in shaping the rapidly evolving federal shared services strategy. As one of a select group of
industry partners invited to participate on the first Federal CIO Council Subcommittee on IT Shared Services and as
the
senior Microsoft representative to the Subcommittee, I helped develop the federal government “Shared Services
Implementation Plan”. I then became a lead advocate and founding partner in the establishment of a transformative
OMB-Partnership for Public Service “Shared Services Round Table” initiative that has now established itself as the
premier body providing thought leadership and vision for an open, competitive public-private marketplace for shared
service. I am also a founding member of the new Shared Services Leadership Coalition that is providing
Congressional
representatives and their staff with information on federal shared services activities and highlighting the opportunities
for significant return on investment through shared services legislation that will accelerate the utilization of shared
services,
both public and private, by the federal government.

responsibility for Microsoft services that touch far too many accounts to list but some of the major accounts include VA,
