Vice President, Finance
Joseph Dailey
Joe has worked as an IT and financial project management since May 2008 in the FinTech and banking sectors, operations, and administration as a relationship manager. This gives him experience with tasks that aren’t traditionally part of the Project Manager’s toolbox.
When attending a networking event at PMIWI, he realized that joining the chapter would further his networking goals of: 1) to meet new project managers in various organizations and capacities who know what project managers do, and 2) provide new opportunities both personally and professionally. The only way he would be truly engaged is if he was part of the team as a servant leader.
