*** Joseph N Starwood: Software IT Enterprise Architect ***
Cover Letter info:
- While the best architectural solutions may be drawn from extreme 
    attention to detail and a small point focus, I believe true success in 
    business also requires approaching challenges with a wider view.  
  Companies today are in need of diversified leaders who can handle 
    complexity across domains, departments, and industries.  Beyond 
    supplying tailored solutions in response to needs of the business, 
    technical executives need to provide drive, determination, and vision 
    by stepping outside of the IT arena and into a leadership role.
- An OMG Certified UML Professional and IBM Certified IT Architect, I have 
    continually demonstrated an ability to build teams of qualified 
    individuals and inspire them to come together in pursuit of a common 
    goal.  The attached resume emphasizes my background in working across 
    multiple resource groups to solve complex custom architectural 
    challenges.  However, my leadership thumbprint does not stop there.  
    Seeking volunteerism as an outlet to expand leadership capabilities, I 
    chartered a course allowing for impact beyond my professional calling. 
    Volunteer highlights: 
  - Established the Northeast Ohio Chapter of IASA.  Playing a pivotal role 
      in planning and organizing chapter startup, the group has grown from 
      five interested parties to 26 members in just over a year.  
  - Orchestrated key stakeholders in initiating a computational chemistry 
      project to identify pharmacological treatment for HIV/AIDs on behalf 
      of World Community Grid.  
  - Chaired AASECT Fundraising Committee, securing 2008 conference proceeds 
      exceeding five times that of customary amounts.  
- I am confident that with a twenty year record of providing award-winning 
    solutions and exceptional project leadership to deliver client-driven 
    results, I would make an excellent addition to your team.  I look 
    forward to the opportunity to meet and discuss developing solutions to 
    meet the needs of your company and clients. 
Sincerely,
  Joseph Starwood
