Margaret W. Purvine has had a wide variety of experiences during the course of her work life. The bulk of her business career, just under two decades, was spent at IBM. There, she learned the nuts and bolts of large computer systems as well as the organizational, project, and management skills necessary to get them installed and implemented properly.

Technical skill is fine, and Margaret is still a proud "geek", but where she really shines is in her work with people. Experienced as a manager and facilitator, she is able to work with her clients to make sense of a big task, break it into digestible chunks, and direct a team of people to get it done. She enjoys teaching and finds that moment when the light goes on in a student's eyes particularly rewarding.

Complementing Dennis' skill with numbers, Margaret excels with words. Writing is a major passion that has generated many business articles for web and business press. An avid cook, she swears that she will write that cookbook one of these days.
