Strengths

• Deep Infrastructure & Data Center Expertise: More than 25 years managing data centers, enterprise hardware operations, large-scale installations, and network deployments across commercial, municipal, and military environments. Demonstrated ability to maintain 99–100% uptime in mission-critical settings.

  Proven Project Delivery Across Complex Environments: History of successfully leading multi-site deployments, hardware refreshes, cutovers, and network expansion projects. Known for delivering projects on time, maintaining scope integrity, and ensuring full customer acceptance.

  Exceptional Communication & Stakeholder Trust: Recognized for consistent, high-quality communication with leadership teams, end users, vendors, installation crews, and government officials. Builds long-term relationships through accountability, clarity, and reliability.

  Hands-On Leadership & Technical Depth: Strong ability to guide technicians, troubleshoot issues, perform site assessments, coordinate vendors, and ensure technical accuracy at each phase of a project. Highly respected for being both a leader and a skilled technical practitioner.

  Security-Minded Approach: Former TS-SCI clearance holder with a disciplined, structured method of managing risk, compliance, and operational quality - an asset for handling secure or sensitive infrastructure environments.

WEAKNESSES

• Modesty in Presenting Achievements: Tends to understate the scale of his accomplishments, which can minimize visibility during executive evaluations if not supported by strong written materials.

  High Communication Frequency: While strong communication is a strength, Ron sometimes over-communicates progress updates, which may overwhelm stakeholders who prefer summary-level reporting.

  Limited Recent Exposure to New PM Software Platforms: Core experience is extremely strong, but some newer enterprise PM tools may require short adaptation time—though Ron learns rapidly and has historically self-trained successfully.

  Development Focus

  • Calibrating early delegation and distribution of responsibilities after assessing team capability and maturity.
  • Rapid acclimation to large-enterprise governance structures when transitioning from fast-moving, hands-on environments.

  Opportunities

  • Strong fit for modernization, hardware refresh cycles, multi-site upgrades, network expansion, and operational stabilization.
  • Ability to elevate delivery standards: scheduling, risk mitigation, vendor performance, documentation, and readiness.
  • Leadership in emerging technology adoption using AI-assisted delivery and modern PM tooling.

  Ideal Alignment With Infrastructure & Installation-Focused PM Roles: Insight Global’s IT Project Manager opening aligns directly with Ron’s strengths in lifecycle project execution, network installation, scheduling, customer coordination, and multi-site infrastructure delivery.

  High Market Demand for Experienced IT PMs With Security Backgrounds: Ron’s data center leadership and former high-level clearance create strong leverage for roles requiring trust, discretion, and operational discipline.

  Growing Demand for Hybrid PM/Technical Leads: Companies increasingly value PMs who can understand the technical details. Ron’s hands-on background positions him as a standout candidate compared to PMs with only administrative experience.

  Transition Into Long-Term Corporate Stability: With many employers prioritizing reliability and reduced turnover, Ron’s desire for a long-term (5+ year) commitment aligns with market trends for stable project leadership roles.

  Threats / Market Considerations

  • Competitive markets may over-weight recent corporate titles versus demonstrated execution; positioning should emphasize outcomes and scope.
  • Some organizations may undervalue military-grade data center experience unless translated into business outcomes.
  • Cloud narratives can overshadow hardware leadership; messaging should highlight adaptability across hybrid infrastructure.

  Highly Competitive PM Market: Some candidates rely heavily on polished executive branding, making document quality and positioning essential to stand out among applicants with similar project management credentials.

  Automated Resume Screening Systems: If not properly formatted or keyword-aligned, extensive experience may be overlooked by ATS systems due to its depth and variety. Clean, structured documents are critical.

  Misalignment of Role Expectations: Without clear positioning, hiring teams may underestimate my seniority and categorize me as a technician rather than an infrastructure-focused project leader.
