Aimee Capehart
Information Governance Analyst at H&R Block
Process Improvement | Data | Governance
I am a technically-inclined professional who uses logic, questions, and an uncommon ability to see the strings that tie things together to improve processes and get things done in the most efficient way I can find. My brain loves problem-solving, puzzles, and determining the best way to look at data to understand the story it is trying to tell.

H&R Block
https://www.linkedin.com/company/h&r-block
Though I was hired halfway through the season, I became one of the highest producing members of my team in terms of quality of work, volume of work, and investigative initiative. An Excel tracker I created closely monitored and provided vendor-to-vendor comparisons for a metric that our team had previously brought up but never gained real traction on. I used this report to quickly generate trend call-outs and fact check vendors on checkpoint calls, allowing us to highlight the impact of vendor behavior.

        During my one and a half year extended professional training at Garmin HQ Aimee was always tremendously helpful in answering my numerous questions, both when it came general topics and regarding the sometimes tricky details of our Project Manager tasks. In doing so, I always appreciated her open-minded, direct way of communicating and her dynamic approach in resolving problems.
For the Garmin DriveX x1 development, Aimee, in addition to her tasks as a Project Manager for the Drive 51/61 and DriveAssist 51 products, assumed the role of SW Project Manager for the entire Garmin DriveX x1 line. From my perspective, Aimee did a great job in both fields. She was diligent, dedicated to the team, and always there to help. Aimee significantly contributed in the successful, timely launch of the Garmin DriveX x1 for 2017.
