1. Gordon Culpan PPM Expertise Résumé
In the financial (investment banking, retail branch and technology and operations),
manufacturing and government shared services organizations, Gordon’s key projects included:
platform, network and desktop refreshes and rollouts, application development deployments.
Others have said of Gordon that project management
runs through his veins. Before the terms project and
program management were widely used Gordon was
making sense of connecting people, processes and
work that crossed organizational functions.
He credits his military, engineering background,
attention to differing people types and behavior, and
passion to deliver; (often unknown scope, tight
deadlines and high resistance to change) as the basis
for his constant positive attitude.
Gordon’s core values are: Work hard – teach others. Don’t say it – do it. & Schedule family
time. He has owned his own companies and has worked on three continents.
