*** 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
