Damien Eddy
Senior Project Manager
North Vancouver,BC
Summary
With 11 years of project management (agile and waterfall) work behind me, there isn’t much I haven’t seen when it comes to delivering complex and cross function projects both internally and client facing. From physical production lines, to large IT projects I’ve been able to navigate them all successfully on time and to budget. A master organizer and communicator with an eagle eye for detail I’m always able to deliver large value to clients in the most efficient way possible. Whether small or large, I can bring out the best in an organization from kickoff to rollout ensuring the stakeholders grow and learn along the way adding more value to the bottom line. A technology focused pragmatist who likes to pick up the ball and run when it comes to a new challenge. Highly flexible and creative when it comes to how I work, and always aim to bring out the best in the team I am working with. A natural leader who can build atmospheres of trust, openness, and communication for everyone and ensuring they work well together on shared objectives. Dealing and negotiating with vendors, time-management of internal stakeholders, remote workforces and handling of budgets in the millions are all in the skillset and I am no stranger to working with people at all levels of an organization and making sure all are on the same page.
