Vice President Information Technology
Tampa, Fl, Us
Pegasus TransTech acquired our business from Xerox in May 2014, creating the largest revenue management service provider serving the trucking industry. As VP of IT, I was responsible for consolidating infrastructure and support for the combined companies, merging IT teams and delivering a consistent user experience throughout the company. Projects included an email migration project (we moved the entire company to O365), and the expansion of our ShoreTel phone system throughout all offices. Teams were merged as well, and processes reviewed and updated to leverage the best of breed for the combined organization. Managed Services was introduced to provide routine monitoring and support for critical infrastructure components. With Xerox, I was also responsible for security, and ensuring compliance with the CISO standards. This included implementing and enforcing policies and procedures to address areas such as user access control, change management, incident and problem management, anti-virus and patch management, and intrusion detection and prevention. I was also accountable for defining and testing business continuity and disaster recovery plans for our business. My responsibilities at Xerox also included management of Software Development and Test, Infrastructure Engineering and Support, IT Service Desk, and Solutions Delivery (Customer Support and Implementations) teams. These teams developed, implemented, and supported integrated ASP and SaaS solutions (mobile and web-based) for the Trucking industry, on highly available, secure, and scalable infrastructure supporting critical 24x7 operations.As Change Manager, I ran the weekly Change Advisory Board meeting, reviewing any planned changes with stakeholders, ensuring comprehensive documentation of the change (including roll-back procedures), identifying communication plans, and scheduling required resources.
