Can you say: "She actively strategies and coordinates programs".?

I am confused with the use of strategies vs strategizes- and what the correct action verb would be. Thanks

@Laurence77,
Strategies are plural nouns and strategizes is a verb about something a person may do.

I would avoid adding the word actively, it isn't useful.

She strategizes and coordinates programs, ok, but I read it as too much corporate speak.
Just say she coordinates programs.

@ossobuco,
Thanks for your insight ossobuco-
It is sort of corporate speak as Im writing a bio on someone who is actively consulting for various firms and looking for a permanent position with a large company.

- This girl is a strategist
-I put actively because she is currently juggling 3 projects for 3 different companies.
- I used Strategies because shes creating strategy for various project implementations on also various levels of operation- so the statement Im trying to make is plural, but also an action because she is actively doing it.

-Im impulsed to use strategize, but I hear this really isnt a word and is just used is common speak because of the survivor TV show.

-IS strategize the action version?

-Is strategies a variety of or instance of the use of strategy?


*She is skilled in the art of devising and employing plans towards a goal that a company may seek to achieve.
*And is hired to map out the plans, direct, and monitor the implementation.

I do not mean this badly, and certainly not to you, but I now have to go back and figure out what you just said - and that is not about your english, which is quite good.

Ok, yes, strategize is a word, quite well used.

I liked your last sentences.

@Laurence77,
She is currently creating strategies for and coordinating the implementation of various projects.

Actively and currently are two different things and not interchangeable. I could try to explain them but a dictionary will explain them a lot better than I ever will.
