Student Profile: Engr. Md. Moktar Hossain MCIPS, PMP
I am an Electrical Engineer. But I have changed my career focus to supply chain and Public procurement arena. I have achieved Masters in Procurement and Supply Management(MPSM) and MCIPS from CIPS UK. I am working in this procurement and supply chain field more than 4 years. Now I am working as a Procurement specialist in a Project funded by IFAD-UN. Before this I was involved in a more bigger Power Plant construction project also. So performing in a project, I noticed that Project management knowledge is very much important to me for handling my activities.
I serve as a Project Manager in an IT company and have 5 years of project management experience. My innate talent for being able to quickly build a rapport with the clients comes in handy and helps me navigate the ups and downs of the project lifecycle easily.
I serve as an HR Technology Consultant for Lockton Companies based out of Kansas City, Missouri. I have a strong background in health and welfare benefits, as well as a deep interest in personal finance. Project Management as it's practiced was a foreign concept to me until a connection helped me secure a job at a benefits administration company where I would serve as a project manager overseeing the migration of client data from their previous solution to my new company. While pursuing my MBA, I was formally introduced to the field from an academic perspective.
I like to call myself an IT Professional morphing into an Agile Project Manager, my IT career started out in AT&T Inc where I worked for 19 years in roles as an Oracle DBA, Application and Web Developer as well as some System Administration chores. This guided my trajectory towards project management which is as wide and all-encompassing as it can be, it is one discipline that challenges you daily and keeps you learning for you to be current within the knowledge space and keep up with its growth.
I am a computer engineer with a PhD in Operations Research. Because of that, I love to enhance process efficiency, promote resource optimization and thorough planning of activities. Project management soon became a framework for all these attitudes to express themselves to their full extent. While spending many years as a scientist in the academia, I gained experience in grants management.
I am a Project Manager to a federal contractor for the US Government but before that, I worked for the federal government directly. I have over 10 years of experience with IT project management from new software installs and upgrades to software development. The A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) provides project managers with a reference to help focus their project management efforts in a more efficient and successful manner. As my mentor told me, "Hope is not a project plan!"
I am an IT Program Manager, working in the financial industry in New York. I have been working as a Project/ Program Manager for the last 12 years. Before that, I worked as a Solution Architect & Developer in Data Visualization projects. I enjoy working on conceptualizing a project to taking it to the finish line. I love to learn new technologies & develop skills that help me in project management. I also voluntarily work with non-profits, charitable organizations where I offer my PM skills as a service.
I am an experienced Project Specialist with a proven track record in delivering multi-million dollars humanitarian, health and Gender development projects for UN. With extensive experience in the delivery of Women Economic Empowerment projects.
Project Manager in healthcare IT – various levels of roles over the last ten years. An avid runner, found running off the stress in preparing healthy and helpful.
I’m an officer in the US Army with an MBA in healthcare administration and project management from George Washington University. I have been in the military for 20+ years placed in multiple roles of leadership, logistic management, and special assignment operations globally.
I have gone to the next level after leveraging all the experience I have earned while working with multinational and local companies. In the last few years, I was more on working with projects and recently into management. PMP helped me lot in gaining standard project management knowledge and international practices. Not only project management knowledge but it has increased my confidence, vision and enhanced leadership skills which now I am enjoying applying to my daily work routine.
My name is Linda Dunn. I am working as an IT Project Manager in the oil and gas industry. I started my career over 30 years ago as a Software Developer and have emerged through supporting Networking, Infrastructure, System Administration, and Project Management. I have been in various industries over the years: Manufacturing, Healthcare, Grocery Warehousing, Education, and Oil & Gas. It has been my goal to become PMP Certified but kept putting it off. I took a Project Management course at the local university in 2016 but seriously began my PMP certification in January 2018.
I am working in a huge IT service provider company on different customer-facing roles, mostly related to IT operations, but not limited. Previously, I worked a lot as IT project manager. Now I am closely dealing with PMs when accepting scope extension.
I am a seasoned project management professional, having a diverse career history in astrospace, aerospace, fiber optics, pharmaceuticals, software development, and medical devices. I am continually seeking new opportunities in employment as well as learning.
I have been writing, recording, and delivering technical training throughout the United States for 30 years (working as an independent contractor.) In that time I’ve taught PMP Certification courses, CCNP Certification courses and MOS Certification courses. In that time, I’ve delivered training at Apple, Google, and Microsoft. I currently hold 3 certifications from PMI and have always derived great value from the Podcasts and Prepcasts. I am a member of the Los Angeles chapter of PMI.
I am a senior Aerospace Engineer with several years of experience in the space and aviation industry to get the PMP because I wanted to consolidate my project management skills and to boost my career. I have to thank the PM PrepCast team for the material they provide to their students. In fact, without the PM PrepCast training course and the Exam Simulator, I doubt that I would have passed the exam considering every limited available time to study I had.
I'm a licensed Architect, LEED, and WELL Accredited Professional. My company, APTCS Group, is a consultancy company that provides construction and project management services in the Philippines. I pursued the PMP Certification as a validation of my competence in the services that I provide. Preparing for the exam is quite tough, as I need to run an office and also a family at the same time; but with determination and persistence, it has been a successful journey.
My name is Joe Sekiya and I am currently working as a project manager for the State of Colorado's Department of Healthcare Policy and Financing on the Hospital Transformation Program (HTP). Under the HTP, hospitals will be required to implement quality-based initiatives to receive supplemental payments and demonstrate meaningful community engagement and improvements in health outcomes over time. The program will outline expectations for key activities and tracking measures, in order to establish statewide uniformity while providing the hospitals the flexibility to work with their communities on the best interventions and approaches. The program will serve as a glide path to transition from pay-for-process and reporting to a pay-for-performance structure.
