General Electric - RE-CRM

Senior Technical Project Manager
2020 - 2021

Objective - GE Renewable Energy Commercial DT's team  was transforming the way sales and commercial teams manage opportunities inside Salesforce.com.

Solution - Commercial DT's Team worked with Capgemini to upgrade the Salesforce Platform from Classic UI to the new Lightning UI. After 10 months of working within an Scrum framework that enabled visibility and flexibility, we were able to roll out the Lightning tranformaion. With this update GE Renewable Energy employees can create opportinities faster, visualize real-time data in order to validate installation scheduling, gain long-term visibility that enables the anticipation of resource demand, and more effectively forecast the entire supply chain. Gathering real-time data in order to anticipate future installation demand and create a schedule that fulfils customer requests while reducing the risk of delays and the stress placed upon employees. Now customers experience fewer delays, enjoy more predictable installations, and have greater confidence in GE Renewable Energy.

Success
- My success was leading a global Salesforce Lightning transition project where I successfully managed the scope, budget, schedule, and risks of the project and ensured a smooth and seamless migration to the new platform. But, without a cohesive team wouldn't have been sucessful.

This project was strongly connected to the GE Renewables scaled B2B e-Commerce success strory.

"In a recent survey of 350 B2B leaders, 94% expected their growth to come from ecommerce. And with traditional sales channels at risk because of pandemic-related restrictions, it’s absolutely critical to focus on selling online. But launching or growing your ecommerce isn’t easy. Even under normal market conditions, these deployments traditionally take months to execute. Today, you likely face a newly remote workforce, siloed systems, and uncertain economics. But GE Renewable Energy was able to build a B2B commerce site in 12 weeks."

What I've done:

1. Led cross-functional teams and CRM projects and releases from the business requirements to delivery
2. Increased business satisfaction by over 26%.
3. Improved digital processes to enhance productivity and customer satisfaction leveraging LEAN methodology and Agile mindset.
4. Managed large projects (24+ teams) & diverse teams.
5. Navigated complex Salesforce Lightning migration.
6. Delivered projects within scope and budget and time.
7. Facilitated workshops and sessions for effective planning.
