Professional Profile

PATRICK O'BRIEN, PMP, GCP-PGWA, SEP

OBJECTIVE

To help lead and serve an Information Technology services organization as they endeavor to assist clients with planning, implementing, securing, updating, and monitoring their IT platforms in such a way that ensures effective and seamless execution of their mission, efficient collaboration with internal and external colleagues, and compliance with all relevant stakeholder requirements and regulations.

I will do this by applying my management, leadership, and technical strengths; relationship-building skills; business and administrative proficiency; interpersonal communication expertise; and experience in developing and facilitating current and forward-leaning IT applications in a way that is complementary to each client's unique mission.

SUMMARY

My career to date constitutes a unique combination of experiences that prepare me to engage an organization as a servant-leader in managing, securing, and improving their Information and Technology platforms and services.  My professional development emphasizes proficiency in all of the areas required of such a position. I have advised Presidentially-appointed Chief Information Officers of the U.S. Intelligence Community on matters related to policy and implementation of the latest process- and IT-related collaborative solutions; served as a senior Program Manager overseeing the business, administrative, functional, developmental, and personnel responsibilities of large, complex, and extensive Government contracts and programs; and managed offices of diverse skill sets and demographics while advancing their Information Technology programs and increasing collaboration through business process re-engineering.  I currently provide IT innovation and implementation and business process improvement services for a company providing mission-critical IT services and consulting to the U.S. Government.
