Bio
Leonie Kottler, SPC, PMP, PMI-ACP
I had the pleasure of working with Cheri for ten years, through a large variety of projects. Cheri stays focused on a project’s objectives and implements appropriate structures to ensure successful completion. Her deep technical skills and experience compliment her excellent project management skills.

Cheri became part of our extended team late last year when we were expanding our development efforts in the health insurance exchange (HIX) market. She very quickly became engaged in learning our business, our culture, our methodology, and assumed a leaders role in helping us to project our tasks, plan the sprints, and keep us all on track to meet our deliverables. She worked tirelessly as the business changed strategy and focus--constantly--and prompted us to modify our project plan due to scope creep while still maintaining a fixed date deliverable. We recently moved over to tracking all our backlog items and progress in TFS and Cheri was instrumental in helping us in our transition to a more modern, progressive, system that allowed development managers and product managers insight into current state of work. I recommend, without hesitation, Cheri to a company that needs a full-fledged, experienced, flexible, dynamic project manager to tackle the complexities of large projects with demanding deadlines.
