"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."--John F. Kennedy, 35th President
Never once in my career at Black Knight Financial Services
Did a President, CTO, or VP of Product that I reported to say
"Chris, your plate is too full, I will assign this business initiative to someone else"
I have modeled my approach to business based on my track record
As a dual role Senior Product Manager and Business Engineer
For a $1.6 Billion Firm with 9 divisions and 4,000+ employees
CTO - "Chris, I am going to pair you with an infrastructure project manager, I need you to figure out how to convert our division from 12 departments, 300+ resources onshore/offshore into a 3-tier support hub with 8 areas of focus with a central command center for reporting to our executive team which will report to the executive team of Black Knight"
Proxy to Division President Daniel Sogorka
VP of Product - "Chris, we are going to transition from Product Managers to Product Owners and our Product Strategy Manager just resigned. You will serve as Product Owner for the Exchange platform, Valuation Insight, and Quality Insight products and assume the responsibilities of the Product Strategy Manager proxy reporting to Chief Product Officer Shelley Leonard's Product Team"
In 2017, I was nominated for the BKFS Product Leadership Summit as the sole representative of my division.
President - "Chris, great to meet you in Jacksonville I am looking forward to working with you. Put together a SEAL team of SMEs across the division to work on some of the operational challenges we are facing that I have been hired to turn around. Choose any member from any team you need and if a manager has a problem with it, tell them I have approved this initiative."
I served as the Business Application Owner
Led the Intern Program of 15+
Led Cross Divisional Integration Projects
Led Technical Integration Feasibility Projects for Mergers and Acquisitions
Led Organizational Readiness for the Closing Insight Product Launch
While managing feature enhancements, product backlogs, profit and loss (P&L), issue resolution testing, and technical solutions scoping for custom implementations of our Exchange Platform for a customer list that included
JP Morgan Chase
Bank of America
Wells Fargo
BB&T
Old Republic Title
Stewart Title
And 50% of the largest banks and title companies in America
I am carrying a 4.0 GPA in my MBA program because of BKFS
I spent 3 years executing MBA-level skills to the tune of near-perfect
Evaluations
HR Director Artie Odoms
"I have no idea what you said to our CTO to make him make you an offer in one interview on a Saturday, something he has never done in 10+ years"
