An expert in change leadership, helping companies navigate the forest of IT transformation. Builder of organizations. Trusted Advisor.I have rarely seen a technology project fail because of technology. Technology is often symptomatic of larger issues, and we let it take the blame rather than recognizing the true challenges brought about by change. Often, it is poor leadership, planning, decision-making, processes, or risk management that are the real barriers to success. Blaming technology just helps us fail harder and more expensively. Change is difficult, but the ability to effectively lead differentiates us.My father dropped out of school to support his family until he came of age to join the military. Twenty years later with a GED, a southern accent, and the ability to create, manage, and lead organizations effectively, he walked directly into the unemployment line. Though it wasn’t long until he was CEO of a credit union.My father’s story gave me the inspiration to overcome obstacles in my personal life and professional career. Growing up in Turkey and Germany, being the first ever to attend university, and later leading national and international transformations gives me unique perspectives and capabilities to transform IT organizations.Despite leading numerous organization turnarounds and transformations, I am my largest transformation project!Seeking to make a difference:• Chief Information Officer - CIO (midmarket)• IT Chief Operating Officer - IT COO• Chief Technology Officer - CTO• Vice President of Information Technology - VP of ITCompetencies: • IT Vision & Strategy • Business Partnering and Consensus Building• Large-Scale Global IT Delivery • Organizational Change Management• Team Building/Development | Succession Planning • P&L, Capital & Expense Management • Process Improvement & Best Practices• Business Analytics | KPI | Metrics • Stakeholder Management336-558-6773 (preferred)barrylrobbins@gmail.com
