About MeAs the Acquisition IT Integration Manager at HID Global, I lead a global team of IT professionals who support the company's aggressive and diverse acquisition strategy. With over 17 years of IT experience, I have acquired ITIL and Prince2 certifications and mastered various project management methodologies, such as Agile and Waterfall. My mission is to enable seamless and efficient IT integration for mergers, acquisitions, and facilities projects across multiple regions and business units. I have created and improved repeatable runbooks for different types of projects, and developed a PMO system in Smartsheet that automates tracking and onboarding. I also support the strategic planning, due diligence, and execution phases of M&A transactions, and provide cost estimates and risk assessments. My solution-oriented mindset and broad IT knowledge allow me to thrive in the fast-paced and dynamic field of M&A.
How I Use SmartsheetI use Smartsheet to manage projects across my team, it allows me to quickly see risk and project status across the entire portfolio.
