For twelve years, I built my career at Anixter (now WESCO) gaining significant experience in the role of IT Project Manager, with a focus on warehouse and office logistics stream-lining, IT Infrastructure design and construction, support management, and facility moves, adds and changes throughout North America. I successfully completed several large-scale, high profile facility relocations with costs of over one million dollars, meeting all deadlines on time and within budget.
