Jeff Fields is a Retired CIO. Colleagues describe him as "Jeff has been a great business partner to me at Magazines.com. He and I work together every day on both larger, more strategic initiatives as well as the blocking and tackling that needs to be done to achieve shorter-term financial objectives (i.e. closing tickets.) In just 18 months he he has built and deployed a new fulfillment system and a data warehouse, and is now in the process of replatforming our ecommerce store. Jeff has high expectations and is not afraid of accountability -- for himself or his team, I don't think I've ever worked with anyone who executes better; give him a goal and he'll get it done. I really enjoy working with Jeff and am proud of the things we've accomplished.", "Jeff is a great technology visionary, however, as importantly is an excellent motivator and leader. I worked with him closely on a mission critical e-commerce solution that impacted many people within his company. I was very impressed by the way Jeff was able to motivate, align, and manage such a diverse range of individuals in making the project a success. I would strongly recommend Jeff for the most senior levels of executive leadership.", and "Jeff was a great customer because he has high expectations and those expectations ensured the development and delivery of a solution that was right for his organization. He is a savvy negotiator and knows how to use vendors and get results. I have a great deal of respect for Jeff because even when things get difficult he always is able to focus on the long-term goals and relationships, and this shows in the fact that he has consistently built bridges over his career and has lasting, trusted relationships. At one company I watched as Jeff was able to transform a stagnant IT department into and focused solution delivery machine, all while guiding corporate office build and move, significant staffing changes and considerable personnel growth – and he did all this while simultaneously starting multiple mission-critical system replacements."
