A fast follow up communication after the event to make sure that I met your expectations, and to hear feedback about how I can improve, too.

Tom Cooper, PMP is the founder of BrightHill Group, where he believes that "Because People Matter, We Must Lead Them Well.”

Because of his deep experience in software development and enterprise IT implementation, Tom specializes in working with highly technical experts. He says that he helps geeks communicate clearly, delegate effectively, manage conflict productively and plan well.

Tom spent more than two decades as an IT leader working in startup businesses as well as at Marriott, Price Waterhouse, and the GM subsidiary Hughes Network systems.

Tom led software and IT teams to build and integrate large scale enterprise systems. Along that path, Tom discovered that leadership is the key to project and business success and spent more than a decade specifically studying and practicing leadership skills.

I'll help you make your event amazing. My focus is on helping you achieve your goals for your event. I'll make it easy for you - a simple process, not a project for you to manage.
