Cheetah Learning awards Tessa Reisner for innovative project management applications

Cheetah Learning honored Tessa Reisner, PMP®, with the Distinguished Cheetah Alum Award on September 3, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona. The award recognizes her innovative use of project management principles in fields such as intelligent automation and artificial intelligence. Reisner completed the Cheetah Learning PMP® program in 2022 and has since taken on a leadership role at SoftwareOne, where she directs consulting services for enterprise clients in various industries, including oil and gas and finance.

Reisner's approach focuses on understanding client problems rather than merely adhering to specifications. "Most organizations start by asking what the technology can do. The better question is which problems are worth solving and whether the business is ready to absorb the change," she stated. This philosophy underscores her commitment to integrating project management with emerging technologies to drive enterprise transformation.

As the Director of Consulting, Intelligent Automation, and Application Services, Reisner leads a team that evaluates the feasibility and value of technology solutions for clients. Her responsibilities encompass the entire service line, including quality assurance and client satisfaction. She also mentors emerging leaders in project delivery and transformation management.

Cheetah Learning praised Reisner for her ability to apply project management techniques to both professional and personal challenges, noting her lifelong connection to the discipline. Reisner's mother, also a project management professional, inspired her early interest in the field. Today, she applies project management principles to everyday tasks, such as planning family events and home renovations.

Reisner remarked, "For me, the credential is not something I maintain; it is something I practice," highlighting the ongoing relevance of her training in her current role. Cheetah Learning's recognition of Reisner illustrates the evolving landscape of project management and its applications in rapidly changing industries.
