Charles Jones is a Personal note: I had to add my first name for verification purposes but still go by Keith. Understand the culture - What & How - Provide technology solutions that work - - - Semi-Retired at AdvisoryCloud. He possess expertise in it management, security, it strategy, program management, data center and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I met Keith in 2010 or so when I was placed in charge of Sheriff IT operations. Keith was the ITO for DPSS at the time and we met at the many IT related meetings between Riverside County Departments. I quickly noticed that Keith was very knowledgeable and articulate when discussing the planned converged network project and AD Domain Trusts between all county departments. We shared similar concerns since both DPSS and Sheriff where still on Novell/Groupwise and just started the migration / setup process. Keith was even bolder than I was and began a migration / conversion to AD / Outlook as well as rolling out a new OS (Windows 7 and Office 2010) at the same time! My internal conversion was just AD / Outlook / Office 2010 and it was more than enough of a challenge. Keith was able to plan, organize and complete his conversion project (with more users and sites) prior to my project being completed which is a testament to his abilities as an ITO and leader. Keith is innovative and able to talk to executives as well as users without coming across as being above anyone. I highly recommend him for any IT leadership / management position and hope to work with him again sometime in the future! " and "I first met Keith as we partnered in a County Leadership Initiative. At the time, we worked in different County departments but we faced many similar challenges. Years later, as we joined the County IT team, I noted Keith’s persistence facing the leadership challenges of large multidisciplinary teams. He is a highly experienced, qualified, and yet personable technology leader. Keith takes ownership of situations. This quality is unique in large organizations like the County. It enables Keith to provide effective solutions, even for complex IT challenges typically shunned by others. His expertise as a certified Project Management Professional helps him set proper direction for resolutions to surmount numerous constraints. Keith’s strong interpersonal skills, open communication, and technical acumen enable him to achieve success, both as a team member and as a team leader. I always welcome the opportunity to work with Keith and you should too!"
