About Us

With over four decades of experience leading complex IT initiatives, Charlie Cirronella has built a distinguished career as a senior project manager in the financial services industry. He has successfully delivered mission-critical projects for some of Wall Street’s most influential institutions, including Salomon Brothers, Deutsche Bank, Lehman Brothers, SIAC, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Credit Suisse/UBS.

In addition to his professional career, he served as an adjunct professor at New York University’s School of Professional Studies, where he taught project management rooted in real-world practice—emphasizing communication, process, and relationships over theory.

Through years of navigating high-stakes environments, he discovered a simple but powerful truth: long-term success isn’t defined by credentials, methodologies, or even the specific roles you hold. People define it—their ability to communicate clearly, build trust, and create meaningful connections.

Equally important, however, is how you manage yourself. My Edge is the culmination of decades of lessons showing that career success requires the same discipline, clarity, and foresight once used to deliver high-impact projects. These lessons were forged in the workplace, developed in the trenches, and delivered in the university classroom. This book serves as a field manual for managing your professional journey—helping you land opportunities, thrive within them, and keep an eye on the future. Blending real-world insights with actionable strategies, it shows how to sharpen your edge, master complexity, and take ownership of your career with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
