With 20 years of experience in creating motivated teams of highly-skilled technicians and developing strategic plans and budgets, I am writing to pique your interest in my qualifications for contributing to your organization as a director of information technology or project manager. I am an
information technology management executive with a bachelor’s degree in information technology management, and I expertly develop, install, configure, and support software. I offer proven abilities in the design and implementation of innovative business solutions, and I consistently maintain solid vendor and client relationships.
I am eager to dramatically reduce corporate costs and enhance the efficiency of your company. At Paine Webber, I identified more than $2M in annual fees that were not being charged to clients. Additionally, over the course of my career, I:
• Saved AIG nearly $2M annually in claims payouts by improving controls and automating reserves.
• Created statistics for network traffic through vendor analysis, resulting in an estimated savings of $100K per month in lease costs as well as the redesign of the network.
• Held a 100% success rate for three years at Paine Webber for approximately 1,500 money transfers/orders each night sent to outside institutions, involving $3.5M.
• Directed six consultants in executing Prudential Financial’s first corporatewide intranet application for learning and leadership, utilizing architecture tiers two and three.
I suggest that we meet so that I can further describe how I will utilize my expertise and drive to augment your operations. I will contact you soon to schedule an appointment, and I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rudy Reckel
