As a fractional CDO, Tamara is positioned to guide small-to-medium sized businesses in establishing the right scalable processes and procedures that enable consistent, quality, and repeatable delivery to clients who seek value as well as deliverables. She has extensive experience in tailoring waterfall, water-SCRUM-fall, Agile, and Agile SCRUM methodologies to fit both IT and non-IT based projects. Her approach focuses not only on the method of delivery, but also on ensuring that leaders and team members have the technical, people, and communication skills to perform within the framework.
Results that speak for themselves
Throughout my time working with Tamara, she consistently demonstrated empathetic leadership, IT project management, and enterprise transformation expertise, and consistently delivered results. Tamara exercised her talent for explaining technical concepts to non-systems staff - elevating her colleagues and direct reports while delivering for clients. I would highly recommend Tamara for leadership roles where a combination of technical and business acumen must be balanced with building trust internally and externally.
Tamara is one of the few who have the ability to manage the near term and our customer while keeping the long-term big picture in focus. Her ability to pull together people from all levels of the organization and lead them to an end goal (and on time) has delivered great Tamara’s skills allow her to talk at the appropriate level to various team members keeping everyone engaged at the tasks at hand. I’ve worked with Tamara for many years and personally can’t think of a stronger person to have in our (or any) key position.
Tamara is my 1st pick for positions requiring formidable leadership and an uncommon balance of technical and business expertise. I am extremely grateful for her as my trusted colleague and friend and will go to great lengths to work side by side with her again, anytime and in any capacity. She established and maintained trusted advisory relationships with senior VA staff up to and including Deputy Undersecretary levels. Tamara commands attention, respect, and consistently delivers influence and impact.
