My combination of skills, knowledge and competencies comes from being an engineer, management consultant, software project manager, chief operating officer, chief compliance officer and a technology analyst. I’ve also survived two start-ups. My current focus is eQAfy. We help higher education institutions discover, log and monitor all their websites to improve website performance and effectiveness and reduce risk exposures. As a result, sites deliver their intended user experiences and meet their marketing and communications objectives. I care about fact finding, problem solving and evidence-based decision making.
