Kent Lefner’s Summary
I am a seasoned professional with over 17 years of business experience with 12 years dedicated to all facets of Management Information Services, including IT direction, M&A integration execution, technology strategy, program/project management, process engineering, customer relationships, business and technical analysis, application design, systems development and operations, risk and control planning, assessment and IT auditing. My strengths include leadership, planning, requirements definition, process analysis/optimization, and managing teams consisting of auditors, developers, analysts, designers, and contractors across multiple business functions, applications, and hardware platforms.
Most of my experience has focused on manufacturing and financial services industry groups with emphasis on insurance, credit, investments and mortgage. I have been involved in architecting and delivering large-scale transaction integration project, e-commerce software development and IT process improvement/quality assurance efforts. My approach requires close collaboration in a teaming environment. I have a highly disciplined sense of urgency and demonstrated ability to quickly grasp the most complex situations and appropriate solutions. Team building, motivating, and creating a vision that aligns team members to a common goal are critical aspects of my role. I have a proven track record of achieving customer satisfaction under tight deadlines in high-pressure environments. My leadership contribution is marked by attention to effective communication as well as an ability to speak fluently with both internal and external business and technology resources. My mind is always focused on where the business is and where it can go.
I hold a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from DePaul University, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University and a Six Sigma Green Belt from Northern Illinois University.
