I have held various program / project manager positions in my tenure with Intel Corporation. In that capacity, I’ve been
responsible for managing high level, visible, global programs with a scope that has a company-wide impact, necessitating strong
partnerships with operations and business groups. With any global effort, solid requirements management, clear
communication, exceptional resource and budget management, and meeting/exceeding quality expectations are paramount to
