Chris Nielsen is a Chief Information Officer at Troon at Troon. He possess expertise in windows, enterprise software, cerner, itil, unix and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "After making my fair share of hiring mistakes over the past two and a half decades, I've developed an understanding of how talent management works from a hiring executive's perspective: your resume gets gets you in the door. Your personality gets you the job. Keeping it requires performance - because in the end, well, nothing else matters. Chris came to me many years ago on the recommendation of a good friend and IT executive peer within CVS. His resume read (reads) like a dream: Iowa for his undergraduate study, then the prestigious Duke University for his MBA (nearly always ranked in the top five for such programs nationally). So that got him in the door. His interview was superb. My goal in these is to find out, as quickly as I can, if I can trust and rely on the candidate. I will always take a person I can 100% trust and rely on, even if they aren't quite there otherwise. Chris scored as high as anyone across the board and, even more importantly, I knew within an hour that I could trust him with anything or any situation, regardless of difficulty. His performance once aboard was spectacular. His transformed an area which was high on technical skill but lacking in leadership, business relationship management, and motivation. He is a person with impeccable integrity and brilliant at generating out of the box ideas for how to attack complex, multi-dimensional problems. I gave him one of my highest ratings after just our first year together. I have since moved on from CVS, and after losing touch for a brief period, I know that Chris has done the same. I know that leaders like him are indeed rare; I am on the look out for them every day. I recommend Chris with the strongest of endorsements. He has a maturity and executive presence that is hard to find and even harder to retain. Hire him, assign him to your most challenging IT leadership role, and then count on the transformation to occur.", "Innovative leader with strong business sense and servant leadership. I have seen Chris disect problems and create very clever solutions using technology. You combine his problem-solving ability with his experience managing and motivating people, and you have a very unique combination that is hard to find. I'd be happy to provide more details and examples.", and "Chris is recognized as one of true pioneers and a highly respected manager within the HSG group at Perot Systems. He played an instrumental role in the growth and success of the C3 group and served as a mentor to myself and many others within our team. What makes Chris a rare talent is that he has excellent leadership and communication skills to go along w/ a technical background which will make him successful in any leadership/technical role."
