I headed technology for the retirement practice. This group was sold to ACS in May 2005. In this role I ran the co-sourced pension administration system for small/mid-market clients, supported the valuation system, records management, knowledge management. Two major accomplishments in this role were the selection and rollout of a new valuation system, completing conversion of all non-governmental clients in under one year. The other was the design and rollout of a client portal to share pension valuation data with clients (current, historical, and real-time modeling/projection tools).

At this small non-profit education organization, I both set strategy for infrastructure and application development as well as did all the work--everything from programming registrar databases, to hooking them up to the Internet in 1991, to managing the budget, to unjamming printers. It gave me a wide range of experiences both operationally and in leadership. After a year, I realized that the organization could not afford and didn't need full-time IT help and outsourced myself. My last project there was I found a firm that would do support and development on a contract basis for considerably less.
