Dr. Barbara Edington is Director of Strategic Management for The Ouellette Group.  Currently an assistant professor of IT at St. Francis College, Brooklyn,  NY, she develops and teaches courses in Project Management, Organizational Management, Business Applications, Web Design, E-Commerce, Business Technology, Database, Systems Analysis, Technology Law, and ethics.

 

Prior to this “dream job,” she spent 20 years in the investment industry where she learned first hand about the importance of business and technology alignment.  She has managed major investment and operational projects in her work at SEI where she was responsible for the development and launch of several proprietary mutual funds and packaged asset allocation programs. She directed the project from the senior management level and led cross-functional activities to deliver asset conversions for launch, back office shareholder and accounting system integration, plus legal and marketing functions in order to meet requirements on-time and budget.

 

She has also managed projects for Goldman Sachs in NY as well as Goldman Sachs International in London where, as an Executive Director, she was involved in projects such as the Euro conversion and offshore fund development.  As a facilitator, she has worked with multi-disciplinary groups to develop new marketing directions, solve business process issues and improve rapport between functional project areas. She also spent some time as a Pharmaceutical research assistant. 

 

Barbara’s doctoral research was in the interdisciplinary area of management and technology where she proved a qualitative approach to assessing the business value of IT based on project implementation.  She holds a DPS in Computer Science and Information Systems from Pace University, an MBA in Finance from Temple University, and a BS in Psychobiology from Albright College.  Barbara has a PMP certification.
