In my role as Information Technology Project Manager at Dell for Rite Aid, I was tasked with converting legacy Service Business into SharePoint. The project budget was approximately $2 million and consisted of over 15 developers with duration of twelve months. Keith quickly emerged as a leader among the Matrix Team. He was highly successful in his role as Development Team Leader. Excellent communication and leadership skills created a highly functional team who accomplished a tremendous amount of quality work in very short timelines. As this was my first major project, Keith acted as a mentor to me. His experience and expertise guided me to the successful completion of a very difficult task. I depended on him for coaching with regard to communication skills as well as strategy and vision creation. The project had a large impact to the business. Therefore, there was pressure to implement quickly. The pre-chosen software did not accommodate functionality requirements. Keith presented several options with both pros and cons. This enabled executive management to make informed decisions with regard to customizations. Keith always explores every option without technological bias. Keith has the ability to transition from a technical role to a management role where appropriate. The skill to "bridge the gap" between the technical and the functional make him an excellent facilitator between IT and the business. Rarely does a person possess this exceptional talent.
