Co-Founder

Howie co-founded the SkeensMcDonell™ Consulting Group and currently leads the firm's Training & Workshops Practice and helps lead Assessment and Consulting delivery teams.

Before retiring as an executive from Bell Laboratories in 2012, Howie and his project management teams led global R&D projects which introduced the 2G, 3G, and 4G-LTE Wireless technologies to Alcatel-Lucent's wireless infrastructure customers world-wide. He was on the faculty for Lucent's New Managers Workshop and led various Program Assessment teams. He is very pleased to be able to share lessons learned from those endeavors (and smaller projects) with SkeensMcDonell’s clients.
