About this blog

“crossderry” is an Irish term for “across from the woods” or “the crossroads at the woods” — I never can get a single answer from my Kerry kin. It is a real place though, see the Crossderry google map

However, the term fits some of what we’re talking about here — seeing the forest for the trees, taking the correct fork before heading into the woods, making sure you understand what terms mean.

About me

First, the views, ideas, notions, and other synonyms for content are mine, and not SAP’s.

Second, as you might guess from the disclaimer, I work for SAP.  I lead the global project management operations group for SAP.  We’re the global process owner for project, program, and portfolio management as well as the enabling methods, tools, systems, and training.  I also represent SAP to PMI’s Global Corporate Council.

I’ve been part of a pre-IPO logistics software start-up (acquisition being the liquidity event) and co-founded a multimedia start-up (liquidation being the illiquidity event).

The rest is in my CV (here).
