Managed development of processes, management system, and methodologies to enable both a preventative approach as well as a rapid response to security vulnerabilities. Drove Agile process into IT Risk. Led cross-organizational team of 8 core members.Achievements include:• Created security currency heat map and high risk shared services reporting metrics, enabling fast response to complex vulnerabilities as identified.• Drove assessment of 2,100 applications, enabling of Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-2) certificates across all browser applications, and remediated applications on non SHA-2 supported middleware in 6 months.• Analyzed and removed Secure Socket Layer (SSL v3) from 4,500 application portfolio, consisting of over 50,000 SSL connections, collaborating with 1,800 application owners over 8 months, upgrading to Transport Layer Security (TLS) and remediating high risk vulnerability.

Created business architecture based methodologies that identified redundancies and increased cost/value relationship of the portfolio. Implemented strategic roadmaps, determined build/buy models, and measured utilization, to drive higher value from the applications that run the business.Selected achievements include:• In 4 years ending 2013, reduced portfolio by over 5,000 applications or 54%, reducing complexity, enabling agility, and decreasing cost.• Reduced IT service cost by 32% through development of application “tune-ups” and creation of service levels which provided hosting based on operational business criticality. • Created innovative methodology that considered age, skills, technology currency, documented risk, and stability to derive a measure of IT Debt, leading to allocation of substantial investment based on IT Debt. Resulted in 3 patent submissions.• Constructed processes and tools for divestitures which collected “fair share” application cost and various fixed and variable cost with resulting “stranded cost” over time, enabling assessment of alternatives to balance future cost.• Developed industry leading 3-tiered Disaster Recovery (DR) offering based on business criticality, applying to portfolio and achieving higher business value with 10% reduction in cost.

Senior architect in realizing IBM’s vision to deploy a single worldwide strategic solution for all hardware products and enable new capabilities in growth countries.Selected achievements include:• Developed automated special bid pricing grids for low volume business partner customer orders to North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, enabling improved customer satisfaction and 50% reduction is administration cost.• Executed customized processes and tooling to Japan, Korea, and India over 12 weeks, which automated sales reporting and rebate processing and improved accuracy and business partner satisfaction by decreasing turn-around for rebates from 2-3 weeks to 3 days.• Deployed configure to order to all Asia Pacific countries in less than 6 months which enabled manufacturing to order and ship cross-country, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and competitiveness. • Delivered single worldwide hardware solution that enabled elimination of 632 applications over 3 years and improved customer satisfaction through effective management of pricing, contracts, fulfillment, commissions, and business partner processes.• Documented 13 worldwide hardware fulfillment architectures, enabling corporate strategy of a single solution.

I was Personal Systems Group Chief architect and designed, developed, and deployed strategic differentiating capabilities.Selected achievements include:• Designed and deployed IBM’s 1st capability for enabling worldwide selectable shipping options and charging for shipping and handling for direct ship customers, involving master data, fulfillment, manufacturing and export/import systems. • Created and delivered worldwide manufacturing solution reducing time required to enable and release 3rd party parts from 2 weeks through the traditional parts release process to less than a single day. • Architected strategic customer capability to deliver build-to-order solutions by developing E2E business architecture model from planning and scheduling to fulfillment and returns involving 69 core applications, estimated to have reduced total cost > 20% through reduced scrap and rework.• Procured data from 40 disparate sources, detected data anomalies, and defined trusted data sources by type of data, enabling implementation of new production demand / supply parts planning system.
