%our IT department has advertised two job openings for which my e$perience directly #ualifies me.
While I do not have any direct chemical industry e$perience I do have nuclear power e$perience.
The two are not directly related, but both industries endure e$treme regulatory pressure for
environmental impact. I have been e$posed to this kind of regulatory environment and I recogni"e
how vital IT is for the record keeping that is necessary for dealing with that kind of scrutiny.
My IT e$perience gives me a uni#ue ability to apply technology, in all its forms, to business
processes. =ome of the business process knowledge includes accounting, finance, facilities,
inventory control, budgeting, vendor management and various operational processes.
I have e$perience with mergerBac#uisition events, high growth challenges, technology replacement
projects and IT process improvement. I have delivered large technology projects on scheduleBon
budget and in alignment with the business strategy. +ompanies I have worked for include 1akil
