As CIO, my job feels like an air traffic controller at Chicago O’Hare. Demand is high, an unexpected event can wreak havoc, and my goal is to keep things in an orderly flow, manage multiple urgent priorities, meet customer requirements with safety and security-focused technologies, strive for on-time arrival, and avoid system crashes. My last three CIO roles were within Oil & Gas focused in the Refining sector (process manufacturing). I have a strong technology and leadership foundation due to my tenure with Price Waterhouse in the Management Consulting group. I thrive in fast paced, complex chaotic environments, consistently strive for Win-Win resolution, and enjoy developing people and teams. I have led IT thru 3 IPO's, led IT Acquisition Integration across 10 acquired assets in US, UK, France, Germany, and Belgium for 3 companies, Motiva, PBF and Petroplus.My secret power is creating value and bringing structure and success to messy complex situations that are deemed to be impossible … this has earned me the title of Mr. Fixit. Whether at Price Waterhouse where I was consistently dropped into projects that had a messy complex component (technology, delivery timeline, client expectations, resource constraints), navigating multi-cultural environments (Belgium, Japan, Switzerland) or bringing a sense of calm during an acquisition, I am known for my collaborative roll up my sleeves leadership style of just getting it done without drama. I have led Turnaround and growth in Western Europe, Start-up and growth in US as well as Transformation and growth, I do not shy away from complexities of the business cycle nor geography.NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS:⇨ STARTUPS: Played a pivotal role in building PBF Energy from a Private Equity-backed (Blackstone & First Reserve) startup to one of North America's largest multi-billion-dollar independent refiners.⇨ BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION: Spearheaded global business transformation and technology implementation project for ExxonMobil on behalf of PWC, directing 40 resources across 8 teams in Brussels and rewriting / deploying team of 400 in Tokyo.⇨ TURNAROUNDS / M&A: Critical leader in planning and executing transformation of Petroplus from PE-backed (Carlyle and Riverstone) turnaround through IPO (SIX) and European expansion (Germany, UK, and France) from 3 to 8 refining assets.⇨ CYBERSECURITY: Developed a comprehensive Cybersecurity program inclusive of assessment, remediation, ongoing monitoring, employee education, and defense of assets from cyber-attacks at Motiva.
