What are your long-term professional goals?

As a member of its executive team with P&L responsibility, I'll have built a professional services division in a multi-national conglomerate.

This professional services division will facilitate interaction among practice leads, department managers, project managers, and technologists, usually as team subject matter experts wearing the “product manager� hat, assuring all professional service deliverables are efficiently requisitioned and cost-effectively delivered.
