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 that are expressed here are mine only, and not those of Mead Johnson nor SAP.

Second, as you might guess from the disclaimer, I work for Mead Johnson and lead its global program management group.   One of the most interesting aspects of the role is that my team will own the care and feeding of our pending contract with a tier one service provider.  This provider will partner with MJN in Transition and Transformation activities to allow Mead Johnson to separate from its parent company, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.

Before Mead Johnson, I led the global project management operations group for SAP.  My team was the global process owner for project, program, and portfolio management as well as the enabling methods, tools, systems, and training.  I also represented SAP to PMI’s Global Corporate Council and served as the council’s chair for the 2009 term.

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).
