Eric D. Brown - Technology Consultant

Hi there!

My name is Eric D. Brown…I’m an Entrepreneur, Consultant, Doctoral Student and Author and this is my home on the web.

This website/blog contains random thoughts of mine as well as information about my consulting practice, academic work and resume. Feel free to browse around and give me a shout if you’d like to chat.

As my blog title states “Aligning Technology, Strategy, People & Projects” has been the focus of my career. I’ve always found myself at the intersection of business and technology and have loved it. For the majority of my career I’ve found myself working within information technology and telecommunication fields with a focus on managing software development, implementation, training, technical support and development of documentation.

My main areas of focus are:

  • Information Technology Strategy & Alignment
  • Technology Planning & Selection
  • Technology Management
  • Program & Project Management
  • Portfolio Management Consulting
  • Human Capital Management Practices for IT

I’m an accomplished Technology Executive, Consultant and Leader with extensive experience leading large cross-functional teams. I’m a hands-on leader with experience managing large geographically dispersed teams in project management, software development, information technology, consulting services, and implementation.

As a consultant (and person) I have four goals:

  1. Build long-term relationships
  2. Deliver Results
  3. Deliver Value
  4. Continue to learn

What’s different about me?

I focus on results not billable hours. This is a different approach than most consulting companies….but of course, I’m not like any consulting firm out there. So what do you get when you hire me? Easy…you get a partner who cares more about you and your results than billing you hours.

Here’s what I bring to the table:

Real World Experience
I have over fifteen years of experience in corporate and consulting environments…with most of my experience coming from the corporate world. I’ve been where you are today and can bring that real world experience to your organization.

Technical and Business Acumen
Whether you need assistance with developing a strategic plan, help with selecting the proper technology, implementing a new technology, developing software or outsourcing your operations, I can help. I’ve assisted organizations that range in size from 100 to 50,000 people and have experience in many types of technologies from many vendors.

Passion
You might think that this is a strange one to include here…but I feel that it’s a vital piece of what I bring (call it a piece of my competitive advantage). I’m passionate about what I do…and I’m passionate about helping other people.

Feel free to email me or give me a call at 214-296-9599 if you think I can help your organization.

Photography

    I'm an amateur photographer. I've got some pictured posted for your viewing pleasure. I shoot a Canon 40D with the 28-135mm Kit lens. Am patiently waiting my Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM lens...when I get it, you'll know :) Enjoy...and be kind to my almost good pictures :)

    Unlike me, my wife Tracie is a great photographer. You can see her work at a moment to keep photography. Give her a call if you need/want some photography work done...she's open to traveling to you too (expenses paid of course). :)

    Tracie shoots a Canon 5D with a few different lenses for various occassions (Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM).
