President of Global Marketing & Sales |

Prior to co-founding WisageTech™, Ronald has served in a number of key IT management and executive positions, including vice president of derivatives technology at Hong Kong Exchange, CIO at Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) Interbank Clearing, and head of software technology both at Hang Seng Bank and Citibank.
Ronald learned from his experience that using a pragmatic, common sense approach to planning and managing small and medium-sized projects can be adequate, although it is not always the best management practice. For larger projects, project management becomes a technical discipline in its own right, since most projects will reach a level of complexity where pragmatic management will sometimes result in inefficiency and a waste of time, which can start to threaten the project. His goal at WisageTech™ is to use his IT management experience to develop a managerial system that will help managers develop projects that are properly scoped, scheduled, and executed, as well as cost effective. It is his belief that WisageTech™'s project management tools and training materials will help managers to maximize ROI through project governance within a strategic management context, achieve better project outcomes by effectively engaging stakeholders, and create an environment of risk ownership, not risk transfer to enhance project performance.
Ronald has had opportunities throughout his career to manage projects that involved project requirements that were gathered from 92 countries for a single global system and high volume transaction-based payment and delivery instructions, in a mission-critical financial environment, with daily turnover of billions of dollars in magnitude. For these projects, time-to-market was the key to competitive advantage, and down-time of any system would cause heavy financial losses. Projects with such characteristics were complex, and competent project management skills were a key to their success. The aspect of human resources management was also a key success factor, since large projects of such magnitude involved hundreds of people working towards the same set of goals at the same time.
Ronald received a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Virginia Tech, and he attended Carnegie Mellon University's Master of Science program in Computer Science. |
