• Lead and mentor a motivated team of professionals by actively monitoring employee development, performance management, and training
• Solve complex client issues and act as their change agents by overseeing the overall project(s), with ultimate responsibility for success or failure of the engagement.
• Serve as Account Manager to coordinate client activity, identify cross-sell opportunities, manage follow-up, and ensure consistent WMP experience
