Bio
Deb F.
Khristy is an highly experienced Program/Project Manager. She is relentless in her efforts to ensure every detail is cared for. Khristy is very comfortable providing detailed direction to business owners and IT teams as needed to allow her projects deliver on-time. She is a strong relationship-builder and is adept at bringing diverse teams together to work toward project goals. Khristy is skilled in going beneath the surface to uncover risks and mitigating them. She takes the initiative to understand how the systems she is planning for operate at a detailed level, enabling her to suggest creative solutions to technical issues. Khristy can handle both Agile and Waterfall projects and was key in driving early adoption of Agile methodologies with her teams and the overall organization. Khristy is experienced in both running projects personally as well as supervising project managers to successful delivery of multiple projects. I highly recommend her!

Khristy is a beacon of light in navigating the dynamic and challenging world of IT. She was my Sr. Manager at Verizon and we worked together for 10 years on many large and complex IT projects and programs. I appreciate her trust in my abilities and also her guidance and support. I admire her unique ability to use humor to defuse tense and difficult situations as well as her capability to influence others to achieve successful outcomes. Her positive attitude, energy and motivation is infectious and inspiring. She is a true leader in every sense of the word. It was a pleasure to work with Khristy and I would recommend her without hesitation.
