management, using waterfall and agile methodologies. In particular, he has led a number of large ERP projects (SAP,
Workday, Oracle), and mission critical implementations (Gaming, Retail, Telecomm). Many of those impacted users
across the enterprise, with executive oversight, requiring detailed KPIs and status reporting, as well as in-depth
approaches to Change Management, training and support both before and after cutover and transition. As
project/program leader, he has been directly accountable for resource planning, assessments, onboarding and
offboarding, as required during project stages.

Strategy, Transformation, Portfolio Leadership

Anthony has led initiatives with public and private sector clients to assess their needs and assist leadership to develop a
robust strategic roadmap for enterprise technology needs into the future. As a leader of a strategic portfolio during a full

capture and prioritization for a portfolio of capital spend exceeding $400MM. He has worked with executives and all
stakeholders to govern financial and business impact factors, monitoring and forecasting outcomes for ongoing analysis
and risk management.

part of large enterprise deployment initiatives, and strategy development initiatives, he has led planning, prepping, and
facilitation of business workshops – supporting requirements gathering, process definitions, workflow mapping, training,
