Hello, welcome to my profile! I'm a Chief Information Officer with a rich history of leading digital transformations that enhance operational efficiency and improve the experiences of members and stakeholders. My career has been marked by over two decades dedicated to evolving technology strategies that adapt to changing market needs while prioritizing security, trust, and user engagement. Currently, I serve as the CIO at Black Hills Federal Credit Union. Here, my role involves orchestrating technology-driven innovations that have transformed how our 75,000 members engage with digital banking, amplifying their experience across 20 locations with secure and seamless services available 24/7. Among my key projects, the strategic overhaul and integration of a new core processing system stand out, significantly boosting operational efficiencies and member service quality. I also led the deployment of interactive teller machines (ITMs) that combine digital convenience with a human touch, extending service hours and elevating member satisfaction. My efforts in adopting Salesforce CRM transformed member engagement strategies, enabling personalized service offerings that have improved retention and credit union growth. Before joining Black Hills, I directed IT services at National American University, managing a multi-million-dollar budget and spearheading initiatives across 40+ locations to standardize service and bolster operational efficiency. My approach to IT leadership revolves around fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and peak performance, with a clear focus on the strategic goals of the organization. I take pride in my ability to navigate complex regulatory environments to unlock growth opportunities, maintaining a steadfast commitment to the financial well-being of our members and the community. My leadership mantra centers on developing a resilient IT infrastructure, optimizing technology investments, and leading a forward-thinking team that is as dynamic as the technologies we deploy.
